Next up, I had a look at the radiator front panel, and it’s a lot more ropey that I remembered. Not sure where I can go with this! I have a repair section for it, so I guess that would be a start!

After walking away from the strip down yesterday, I went back for more today….😀. Next up, I removed all the mounting brackets, then tried the the rear window glazing strips again. The tiny cross head screws were burred over and were impossible to remove, so I had to drill the heads off then...

I fitted a hybrid 110 / discovery 1 system to my 109 in my build thread. It can be done but the job shouldn’t be taken lightly. You need to be a decent welder and get the measurements right. Sounds obvious I know. 😀 Worth doing though, if you think you need it and have the time to do it. Lots of...

Started stripping one of the rear upper body sides, and it was not a job I was looking forward to! The first issue was that the sliding channels were so bad that I couldn’t slide the windows to get access to the fixing screws. I had to resort to bending the edge of the channel over then...

Cheers - hopefully your panel gaps were better than mine 😂

Moved over to the other side and fitted the driver’s side floor. Sounds easy, but took a fair bit of fettling to get it to sit properly! Anyway, I got it in and sealed it with dum dum the same as the other side. After that nightmare, I thought I would brave trial fitting the driver side front...

Thanks - still seems like a mountain of work to go, but progress is progress as they say 😀….

I thought I would try a front door on, so fitted the hinges and gave it a try. As you can see it’s a mile out! I expected this, but not by that much…. Anyway, it could do with the bulkhead aligning as the chassis bracket is not fitted. I’ll try and get it better next time 😊

Happy with progress ,I moved onto the tunnel and floor panels. I fitted some wiring to the reverse light switch and fed it through into the engine bay for connection later as I think it may be a real challenge to get in to after the tunnel is fitted. I applied some dum dum on the passengers...

After some delays due to holidays, I managed to make some progress on the internal panels. I was dreading fitting the seat box, as I could see that there was a slight bend on the rear rail. It must have happened when I riveted it together. However, after some tweaking, I managed to get the...

Hi @Trumar , I might have mine for sale but it’s likely to be around July as I’m still using it at the moment. Will update what’s for sale closer to the time. Cheers

Thanks, appreciate the photos and the feedback. Does your seatbox bolt through onto the chassis bracket?

Finally, I was looking for some feedback on the finish of the second row grab handle! I had it galvanised, but the original colour is painted grey. Should I keep it galvanised finish or paint it?

Thought I would try the seat box in but it’s not sitting just right. Think it needs some fettling! Just wondering if anyone has had any similar issues? I see that the seatbox is sitting on the chassis - see photo. Is that correct? As I don’t remember if it did when I removed it, help would be...

Next along were the small side panels
