Nice work bud, quite like the colour too :)

Fantastic work as always Steve, looking great, good idea with the tub, a lack of space is the bane of my life..

Most likely a scam unfortunately.

Well I tried to do a bit today, but seen as everything is packed away in boxes, tools, parts, the lot, everything just took 5 times longer than it should have done. The plan was to get the rad frame assembled, slam panel and stays, rad and intercooler in and piped up. Said the other week I would...

Thanks for the replys chaps, hopefully it all gets sorted this week. Oh and yes, I am pretty chuffed with the galvanised bits too :D

Collected a few bits from galv :)

And I'm sure some of you can remember last time I had some done and they lost my rear door frame. Well I pulled round to the loading bay, got out to try and find my pallet (pallets) soon spotted the bulkhead and thought I recognise that door sat on top of them, so I was bloody chuffed about that...

So a little update, as most of you know I am meant to be moving house, early this week a date for moving was set, Friday the 20th (today) so I got Thursday off work and spent the day emptying the entire contents of both sheds, all down to the drive ready to go straight in a van, 4:30 comes and a...

Wow, thank-you for your kind comments, I do try and make things as good as I can, sometimes it is difficult or time consuming, but you just have to make do with what you have available. That was the hope mate, unfortunately not the case :( Aye that was the plan and why I didn't mind too much...

James runs a business. Like I say, if I wanted someone to do one for me, James would be the man. http://www.aztech-engineering.co.uk/

I'm sure James Martin could assist Ivan. It is who would get my business if I was paying.

Well as has been the case for the last month not a lot has been happening really. I had a day last weekend just tinkering about tidying odd bits up, the tub is bolted on temporary, put a spare bulkhead I had on, fitted steering column and wheel and connected up to steering box. Should help with...

So, body and chassis is long gone, removed most of the trim, and doors / bonnet from the body. Now told I may be moving house next week so they are free to collector if anyone wants them. They will only end up in the scrap yard if not.

Not as far as I'm aware, I've just dropped a complete discovery 300tdi, R380 and lt230 straight into a defender chassis.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to galv we go.. So yep, finally took my stuff for galv this morning. I know a few others have took stuff before, and is it just me who feels really uncomfortable about just leaving stuff their? I mean, theirs quite a few quid's worth.. Maybe it's just me, I have no faith...

Well, still naff all done, the second donor discovery I bought is now being used as a mobile shed as I sort through all my crap, well I suppose it saves moving it all into a vehicle on the day of the move, and is now pretty much sat on it's bump stops. Oops :oops: Ordered a few more bits and...

Nice, looks to be a good project, don't forget to keep up with the pictures :)

Thanks mate, the build isn't going too bad, if a little higgledy piggledy at the mo. Gaskets, well last time when I did the 200tdi I used Turner engineering for the bottom end set as they could supply a victor reinz set, everywhere else I could only find the almakes/britpart/bearmach standard...

Thanks Neil :) Thanks Danny, disco wasn't that bad actually, better than I expected it to be, I'd have tried selling some more bits off it but I was sick of all the messer's after a week, even when it was free, dealt with a couple of decent people, the rest where idiots. Glad it's gone to be...

Happy new year chaps and chapesses, I hope you all have a good one and all the best for 2017. 2016 hasn't been a bad year, albeit not without it's ups and downs, but on the whole a decent one, maybe things are on the up, because for me having thoughts like that something must be up, I am usually...
