I think I’ve worked it out, but ideally the loom where it exits drivers side and goes behind the engine. I think, the fork in the loom goes about where the loom grommet is as one bit. I’ve pulled through all of them now. If you do have any I’d appreciate it. I might have bought another d1 so...

They’re coming up in value that’s for sure. I have a theory that they will continue to rise - look at the 90s jap stuff - it’s silly money now! The scooby I had 7 years ago is worth about 40% more now than it was when I bought it. 7 years ago you could probably find a low mileage decent d1 for...

No worries - I remembered reading it when looking into the conversion as I’ll be doing mine when built 😂👍🏻

I think you’re about right in price if it’s how you state but it’s a bit of a niche market, especially being a v8. Are you sure you want rid?!!

I’ve read something on this - bare with….

Few bits that I just can’t find despite boxing and bagging everything!! One being this, which I am begrudged to spend a tenner on 😳 The wiper motor metal bush on one side was also shot. Would mean buying a new one so just modified a spare shock bush that was in the box.

I’m already having fun with wiring and routing of the loom. I’ve got a good 30 pictures but not enough! Has anyone got any good pictures showing the main routing?

Cheers mate, looks a bit dusty in the picture but it’s actually pretty smart. I’ve filled every seam and joint with puraflex and that came before looks for me!! Also going to make a few cavity wax holes. Now comes the fun part, racking my brain, going through phone pictures, the box of Land...

Done!

Also, If I colour code it I’ll be able wanting mirror finish - won’t be able to help myself. Thinking the satin will draw the eye away from the bay and just look smart

No mate. I was going to, but, I saw a Japanese RRC restoration where all the inner was painted in satin and it looked the bollocks. Plus the satin is another layer of rust prevention. Do you think I’m making an error in doing so?

Cheers mate. Been a long slog but I didn’t want to leave anything as “that’ll do”. Hopefully I shouldn’t have to come back to any of this now. Wait till you see drivers floor. Put my mallet straight through it 😂

Are all d1 v8s Hotwire and not flapper…. Asking for a friend 😂

Next stop - scuff, degrease and satin black the lot.

Couldn’t work out why this primer felt like the gun was loosing its lungs half way through the tank despite 40psi present at the gun steadily. Then realised there was a vacuum being caused!! Took the little bung off the top and it worked lovely. That’s 2 coats epoxy done. Will get some pics once...

Going to have a final sand down tonight and a couple beers when the sweat box has cooled off a touch! You will always just itch to get paint on but kick yourself for rushing afterwards. Hopefully, should work allow, I’ll get a flyer in the afternoon and mix up some epoxy. FUN FACT - epoxy...

Don’t blame you for hating that wheel 😳 any pics of the new motor?

Think there’s two different spline types - definitely is on defender. You need to know your spline number.

Well the last engine bay weld is done as far as I can see. So far on the welding front: • new headlight boxes and headlight mounts • new inner wings • new a pillar panel fabricated • new front wing body mounts • bulkhead scuttle removed, cleaned, repaired and welded back into place • n/s a...
