Ok, so I have discovered a good chuck of rot in my lovely 300tdi bulkhead, par for the course I hear you say lol
Well it has prompted a little bit of a rebuild.
I thought others may be interested (tell me to sod off if you like lol)
So today I'm going to simply post my starting pics and will update as and when etc.
Looks ok (ish) in this first pic and that's exactly what I though it was.
Bulkhead!
Plans are as follows but don't pull me up too much if I don't do it all!
New galv bulkhead from Ashtree
New 2012 doors, elec window and central locking (wuss eh!)
New Raptor console
New (06 year) utility body
Tub
Sides with roller shutters
Roof
Rear door
Paint - Black and White
33 tyres
Am also going to fit out for overland trips
Roof tent
Shower system
Water tanks
Cooking facilities
Mains power
Winch refurb - currently warn 9.5xp (though may sell and replace)
Lots more too I guess but all I have in my head for now.
Chassis is believed very good but will see when all panels off
Uprated suspension +2 already recently fitted
Engine totally rebuilt just 1500 miles ago
Timescale? I want to do a week in the highlands in 4 weeks time!
What do you think my odds are? Lol
Any suggestions are more than welcome
Cheers
