It’s now a 300 tdi Auto, first decent run today and runs a dream, terrafirma suspension is fantastic+1

Great project! Bet you've got loads of pics, be good if you've got time to do a bit of a write up of what you've already done. Bet it's one of those ones that'll never be finished in your own eyes

Started as a straight purchase until we found chassis had been well covered up which left 2 choices scrap it or go for it, 4 months later mechanicals it’s done, bought an old disco for the Engine, Auto box and axles, shot Last all items, and rebuilt new Marsland chassis with all new suspension brakes pokybushex throughout, the list goes on, don’t think it will ever be finished, but I don’t think they ever areGreat project!

Can't tell for sure from your pix but looks like you refurbed the 24 spline Discovery axles and even added a home built HD diff pan on that front axle.
Are you running an LT230 transfer case with an overdrive or is that a Borg Warner hanging off the back of that ZF?

That truck should last you a lifetime now, anything special planned for the pretty bits as you put it?

Winch bumper and winch fitted yesterday, led lights already on , roof lining fitted( that was a pain in the arse) new wheels waiting for tyres, trouble is each time I go on eBay the list gets longer, thinking about removable steering wheel to deter the thieving scroats
