Hi
Thought I'd join as I'm going to need a little help with a Series 3 rebuild. Ive taken over an abandoned project which has stood for 3 years. The diesel engine had been removed by the previous owner to undertaken a petrol conversion, which was never done. The chassis is galvanised. Ive repaired the bulkhead and put the diesel back in. I'm now in the process of sorting out brakes, electrics, throttle controls etc etc.
In the past I've done a V8 conversion on my TD Defender 90 truck cab and then stupidly sold it.

Sounds very interesting - we like pics

Welcome

Here you are - just a few for starters. This is how she arrived - engine at the rear and several boxes of bits inside the cab

Bulkhead repairs - both footwells had rusted through in places

Engine now in - just trying to work out what wires and controls goes where

Welcome, looking good mate

Hi and welcome
nice little project

Welcome and hopefully what a lovely vehicle.

Welcome

Hi and welcome!

Great project and good work there. Thanks for sharing.

A hah! A series joiner, increasingly rare these days. Firstly welcome and walk tall cos any Series vehicle is the original landy. It only has one name and sub class of series; you’ve got an iconic vehicle.
In saying that the 2.25 standard diesel is a dog of an engine. It’s challenging to get through emissions tests. Try to get hold a petrol 2.25 ideally with a Weber carburettor.?

Very very nice!
Be sure to show them in the Series forum, you’ll get bundles of help.

Keep up the good work

Welcome to the forum

Thanks for the warm welcome
