    Weight! Something i never considered unbelievably. Anyone know the stats? Plans are air ride all round and tuning whether engine conversion or mod the td5. I toyed with the idea of a 335d engine as well as i have the opportunity of one but id imagine electrics would be a nightmare. Other than...

    Dan came round tonight so we could remove his step and towbar! Shame the studs have welded themselves in the chassis! Itll need heat in the future: And I finished getting the panels on. Just electrics and a final bead of silicone in the join to neaten it up:

    Thats great pictures, thanks! What power is youres running and at what cost?

    I think it should be a given that early ones will be like this, and probably later ones too. To be fair this chassis youd see from just laying underneath so wouldve been obvious

    Mines had issues, but nothing really 'Land Rover' The prop UJ sheared, the alternator died and the starter motor gave up. So far ive been lucky! But when I serviced it, all the oils came out the same colour as they went in, so I either service it too much or its reasonably healthy!
