My Discovery build....

Such a beast!

such a tease!

Thats me lol

OK so a bit more progress. Now, theres either a lot of body lifted Discoveries that are driving around having stretched the Ali steering joint to a very dangerous point, or theres another version with more adjustment than what I have on the three I have in stock. So in the interest of safety theres only one option:

Remove column:





Remove input shaft:






Borrow a Lathe:






Create an extension piece:





And Weld it together checking its straight with each zap:






Leaving and extended steering column:





And refit!
Last time the O/S wiring was sorted, this time the N/S:






Now im up with the VW boys in hiding the engine bay wiring lol.
Then it was outside for a pose. (unfortunately thats not me. I wish i was that god damn sexy!):

Would look mega on some mog axles! Either way its looks great! Keep up the good work.

nice

What size tyres are in the photo and what size are you buying?

33s i think. Ill have to try and See what i can get on there and still get full articulation.

So did a bit more today...
Pre-dash:






Dash in:






Tidied the wiring going front to back, fitted the kick panels and fitted the centre console:






Started running winch control wires to the Mud dash:






Fitted the high power USB charging socket:






And found somewhere for the CB to go:






have the MOT booked for tomorrow but I doubt itll make it

Did you get the MOT?

And a PASS Did a couple of cheeky lanes on the way home too. Seeing as theres one right opposite the MOT place it only seemed right lol

How'd she drive?

I think the tracking needs doing but other than that like any other lifted landy. Engine feels good though!

Good to see it finally on the road Dan, will have to sort an evening laning soon

Still a lot to do but at least it can hit the road if I want to

Good to hear. All of the work has paid off.

Transfer box lever extender

Had a good day on it today. First off got it up on the ramps:







And got friendly with my old mate Mr Orange:






And sorted all the breathers out. Axles, both boxes and tank. Just the engine to do....
