This is as far as I’ve got - all these bits have had to have fresh walnut burl. I know it’s an acquired taste but I love wood trim in an older car!!

Done that for some bits mate, just don’t trust myself getting the right curve which is why worst comes to worst I’d use a d2 one, add/remove material then veneer over the top.

Sorry it didn’t notify me of responses. Just length and width at widest points of please. Even better if of the trim itself. I have the walnut window switches but the d1 full wood centre console trim is hens teeth - not sure if it was yank only. I want to see how much out the shifter is on the...

Without running off on a tangent on this thread, as I know you got yours, what have you got that’s working and not working and that you want rid of?

I was going to chop tdi mounts off but if resto keeps going as is it could well be a galv jobby

Hi again all, am I right in assuming all variants use the same chassis mount locations? I’d assume they made the 3.9 disco engine to fit the same as the 3.5 to avoid chassis differences and then all the blocks are the same anyway? Cheers

Hi all Could I ask for a favour if someone please in that they measure the plastic edge of the d2 shifter surround where it meets the centre console? Thanks!

Wonder if defenders where done too. It’s certainly not evident when you cut them open. I thought most places acid dipped to get them sterile prior to galv but I’ve never had one done. I’ve been eying them up since you can now buy galv D1 chassis but it never occurred to me what you say about 2...

You got a diesel heater going where you have the pipe sized cutout?

Cool no worries - I’ve a few duplicate parts so just tag me in this thread if any random bits your after. I’ve got two D1s that I’m also building. One is just mechanical sympathy for now, other is a full blown resto so keen to see you progress with yours 👍🏻

Will do - I can’t get to it for a couple weeks as it’s packed up. You can have it for postage costs if you promise to keep us updated and save another d1 👍🏻

I’ve got one. Not mint - the vinyl screen but is a bit crackled around where the writing is but I do have one

They were painted with English sea water inside to give a traditional British patina to the steel…. I haven’t noticed any inner coating when I’ve cut sections out of d1 chassis. That’s nuts that you have a new deadstock one!! Any pics of your build?

Ffs I bought one too hoping it would just fit 😂🤦‍♂️

What’s the plastic bit you want for gear surround mate? Just the trim? I’ve got spare auto stick trim bits and a stick

Welded up both mate. I always dig the sealer out and re- seal (have on my other) but this one I decided to weld up! Bit ugly but it cures the issue!

Evening prep work. Taking dings out bonnet and prepping bits for epoxy. All corrosion removed. One dent is a bit tricky to fix. It’s on edge right by the brace. Smoothed out but quite a low spot. Annoying as the rest is near perfect now. Going to leave it for now and give another sand and block...

Yeah that was what I meant mate - bad choice of words. Correct fuelling rather than lean

so much better!! Just need a gun rack behind those two front seats and she’s ready for invasion

Another interesting specialist video just watched…. Builder seems confident that once out of the emissions and lean running scenario that if a block hasn’t cracked, and is then installed on a richer and cooler run, there’s no reason it should/will. Interesting how peoples views and thoughts...
