Bodywork is a bit passed worrying about haha!

Sorry mate, missed this! At the time i was probably 2/3 days to lifting the body off, engine/gearbox out not much longer than that. If i was to do it again i think i could condense that into a day as I would know what to just cut out, and wouldnt need to spend so long faffing with bits i didnt...

And she’s back! Will do a full write up of my process later, but through the MOT last week and good to go despite some last minute dramas. (Crank sensor, broken fuel line ends, non starting the night before MOT). Most satisfying part is by far the fact my doors close now! Next job is to...

So body is on and bulkhead is changed! Fresh LOF Power spec clutch went in, she’s coming together! Still a couple of issues to address though before MOT..

Sorted that issue, left as it is initially and it’s started no bother a number of times. Issue now is it keeps on forcing off the Fuel line into the engine and creating a diesel waterfall

It’s got the main live, and then from a separate loom the spade plus a brown wire. According to wiring diagram it’s a brown from the starter to alternator but it just doesn’t seem right. This is how I have it at the moment but who knows, she’s not getting started until I’m confident 😂

Hi folks, Currently rebuilding the 110 TD5. Only issue I'm coming up against is that I didn't take any photos of the starter connections when removing it. Putting it back together I know both the power supply (direct from battery) and alternator need to connect to it; but theres only one...

Been away for a while so here’s the next update; the chassis is in. Decided not to paint it as I was only going to have enough to do half of it; plus I like the look 😂 axles tidied up, brakes replaced, suspension and bushes replaced, some spicy colour ways and not waiting on the LOF Power spec...

Currently in the middle of a chassis/bulkhead swap on my TD5 110 truck cab. I’m getting to the stage where I’m going to split the body and I’m considering turning it into a King Cab whilst I’m at it. I’m planning on fitting a flatbed/tipper eventually but in the mean time I’m thinking of...

To screwfix it is 😂 anyone want a nearly full tin of Chassis Black?

Hi folks, In a bit of a pickle in the middle of a restoration… Painted a few bits and pieces with hammerite red oxide (I now am realising this may have been stupid) to nip rust in the bud. I’ve gone to top coat it in chassis black and I have this reaction going on? I waited 24 hours...

Engine out.. Axles coming out tonight and hopefully start reconditioning soon

Cheers folks! That’s all the paint arrived etc, and order put in for the replacements bits and pieces (so far). Was initially planning on replacing rear wiring loom but after seeing the cost of a TD5 one I’ve decided I’ll just fix the scrappy/snapped plugs! Body is off and chassis is ready to...

So the new Chassis and Bulkhead arrives in a week, so time to start thinking about stripping down the workhorse (110 TD5 pickup) Has anyone any advice on the best order of events for the bulkhead/chassis? I’m currently considering lifting the full body off, tidying up all the axles/props...
