    What should I do?

    Depends. If she gives really good head, up the price, if she don't then pay little. :D

    Series/Discovery Hybrid

    If you cut the chassis down, that is a major modification and you will require it SVA tested and will almost certainly end up on a Q plate. HTH

    Project that hasnt been done before?

    Well you are destroying a lightweight. The chassis is gone, that means the ID is gone unless you rebuild on a new, unused, made to spec replacement chassis. All you are doing is bolting a few panels onto a different vehicle. Why not just do it properly and remake the lightweight, retain its ID...

    Bonnet mounted spare wheel bolt needed

    I just bought some of the rubbers from Dunsfold - £5 each inc VAT. Much easier ion the wallet and very good quality. The mount plate bolts are 1/2" BSF at 16 tpi. Hope this helps.

    SWB upper seatbelt mounts

    So Andy, you have the reel on the floor by the seatbox, across to the stalk and then up to a bracket near the roof? If so, that should be fine I think but obviously with it terminating on the seat belt bar. Andy, i think the part number for the seat belt bar is MRC7354 HTH

It has a 3 year warranty, made in Germany, £80 -what's not to like! Oh, some of the tools are ****e - the regulator is crap, spotblast kit is a waste of time but the...

    If it's on a tax exempt one, watch your points as you are no longer going to have either original pair axles OR original braking system.

    Galvanised Fuel Tank

    Yeah - I bought it. You and I thought it was stainless at the time, but it aint. I looked up the make at the time Spectra I think. Turns out not stainless, but it was electroplated or something (not galved) and just looked stainless. Anyway, with my rebuild nearly done I found my original tank...

    You ought to give it it's 2nd coat first. They will only say do that and then come back to us. It may be great with a 2nd coat. J
