Wip out the rear quarter lights and undue rear door, easy to put back in with no damage.

I've done the same, td5 bonnet on a 300, I bought a td5 bonnet stay, bent bottom end into a circle to fit into the 300 bracket , easy.

Nah, there all doing em with modified kit.

LOL thats the colour ive done mine, and i would like the wheels,,,,,,,,,,,,, but not that wide and not them tyres, it does look a bit balloony. what size rims and tyres? iam looking at standard 8x16 and either 235x85 or 265x75.

If you can get a set of cappings and near enough to Matlock I'll galv em for you for a drink.

Hi James, I was gonna suggest a custom built trailer for expeditions. You could always leave it in the garage and go play in the mud. And when your expediting, you leave the trailer set up complete with roof tent,,,,,,,,, and go play in the mud. Same thing I've allays thought about the caravan...

chap on ebay doing galv cappings

Ay up, hope your pleased with the galved stuff, some needs a bit of fettling but at least its not gonna rust. Would be nice to pop up and have a peep at your build, still want to do a full rebuild my self. Keep the pics coming.

Ooooh and get sum mudflaps, a defender looks naked without mudflaps :D

At up cocker, pick her bonce, picked up a recon diff, my front has tons of backlash. Can you get diff out by undueing both swivel housings/chalis and pulling out a couple of inches ? Or do you have to pull the CV joint apart, cheers.

+1 for raptor, the bolt on bits all look pretty naff.

red one, tother one is very rusty underneath and looks like its been offroad a fair bit. and looking at all the sh1tpart boxes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if the previous previose, former keeper has been fitting lots of parts in blue boxes, its bound to fall to bits.

if you want to LOOK cool, either get some big tyres or standard arches:p

Three pound fifty. New in are £135 -150 so I would think 450-500 is a top price.

Does look nice Aaron, doing sum more galving for ya tonight mate. Should have all yer bits done by the weekend. So does it mean yer beasty is sorted ? Get her not sorted and we,all do some lanes cocker.

Think I would be inclined to whip off the front cover and recheck all the timing marks just in case the cam mark is slightly out.

That there catalytic corrosion thing. Rust, leaks, both oil and water ingress, noise levels ergonomics oh and security,,,,,,,,,,,, or at least the lack off it. That's just off the top of my ed.

have you tried playing with pump timing? undue the 3 bolts on your fp pulley and turn bolt a few degrees then fire up, keep adjusting till it runs nice, but only turn it very slightly and mark the original position before you adjust.

Don't got that there Facebook thing.:confused:
