Nice Freeby Winu!

The Freebie - OSC build Log (Page 1) / Techniek FL1 / Freelander Club Belgium

Wow!

Liking the ladder but more so the black vents instead of tbe horrid green almost tempted to swap those on mi e prob too mjch effort tho..

I bet the tratter boys are drooling over all the work you have done .good for you it is nice to see some one dedicated so much

Better than new, really good preparation.

An inspiration to us all, regardless of model or engine.

Thanks. I'm very happy that so many people like it.

Vents and other green details in interior will be swapped for black ones when upholstery will be done. The plan is black leather with red stitch on seats, couch and door cards (in place where cloth is now)
Plastics will stay in cream, and all small details will be swapped for black ones from MY'2002 (Door handles, vents, cup holders, speakers covers)



Hmmm.... this is a second thread about it, so maybe i can put here some updates... if Admins don't ban me
Another large show up is planned on 2014 summer

Well in mate lots of time effort and dosh gone into it but looks amazing

Wish I had the spare funds to just go mad on mine

Funds are not the key . If you got a good idea, you can found people who help you in various ways
And if plan everything, funds are not a pain.

So, i put here some new stuff not shown on Belgium forum

A toy from Australian friends:




Another toy from American friends :




Will look great with Johns winch bumper . For now those are somewhere on Atlantic ocean.

Other mods :
Here you got a YT clip
boost1 - YouTube

It shows how a accelerator reaction was change after EGR blanking, injectors and FIP maintenance. When fit Boost pipes from Simon, boost building should be more effective. But i need to change a boost gauge for 30 PSI one, and find some nice and good MBC.

So, maybe i post here another updates ?
Today Simon (ASA Fab.) sends me a photo of second boost hose that he made for me. Another performance accessory added to collection.

This is the top boost hose (Intercooler -> Manifold) for L-series diesel :

Not polished yet, that will be done after first fittings, cuttings ect. So bling factor will rise . Not easy job I need to find matched colour to my brakes and winch line

With first - lower (Turbocharger ->Intercooler) :


The set is almost complete. Now I need to find good silicone couplings, and clamps. Couplings will be yellow as other details in engine compartment. Plan is for Black with polished elements (A/C pipes, boost pipes, clamps) and Yellow details. Should look good.

So, now I wait for a nice package with bespoke stuff from U.K

Winning!

Those hoses look familiar, so do the photos

Nice work Simon..

Never wrong having a little bling..

Great Freelander Winu..

Very nice. If somebody consider L-series upgrade, place Simon's hoses on list. Those are worth

Keep posting updates! nice projects. I look forward to hearing on the upgrade of the rear diff!

What did you do with the VCU and the IRD? Any change or upgrades there?

Nothing serious. Just bought new ones. I got VCU fitted, and IRD still in box in my little storage with parts. Waiting when stock IRD blows up. 230K on clock and still alive.

you want some T clips they are the best thing for clamping pipes but you would have to paint them your self also your "grounding points" I would have done them in brass ,I like you roof rack and after I have had my operations on my hands I aim to make one the same only out of alloy not like the one I have on at the moment which I made out of steel tubing .

Winch bracket still in developing stange for L-series, but we're (with John and Simon) close to spectacular winning

"The greens" arrive today.


And some Ancients :

One of last ones HD clutch for Freelander made by Land Rover. They develop it in limited quantity for cars used in hard conditions.


This comes from 2000, old box design and old shipping label from LR Dealership. Probably comes from Saudi Arabia or Australia


Clutch cover also is a little bit ancient. But no signs of that inside old and worn box. Both wait 14 years . I very like items like those - they have a soul



Also i got new front window seals from old stock.


And many more standard parts like engine suspension, seals, bolts ect.

Future update soon

I keep getting amazed on how you get to find that stuff; well done!!!
