Nice painting booth ;) :D Coming along nicely. Have you made new brackets yet?

Does he have a restoration thread on it or not?

Will be following this closely. Your son is exceptionally lucky. Good luck with the build, and keep the updates coming please ;)

They are quite big tyres. Dunno if it helps, but Defenders need a 3 inch lift for 35s.

Straight six turbo diesel? Cant go wrong.... ;) :D

Yeah I wasn't really looking into actually doing it, just as an inquiry to see if you one has done it. Because they are a very cool engine.

He put the Cummins 6BT in a Defender 90. I was wondering if anyone knows of someone putting, either the same engine 5.9L Turbo Diesel in a Discovery or the 3.9L 4BT?

Okay, thanks for the heads up.....

I have now checked the prop, and I'm guessing there isn't supposed to be any play in it at all? Because I can turn it with my hand from about 9 o'clock to about 11 o'clock. The tail shaft has no play in it at all. Is it best to replace it with an aftermarket item or can I get away with another...

With that paint job, i hope he's not taking it off road! ;)

Very nice, Whats the colour?

Thanks, so the double cardan prop would be better suited to weekend 4wding as well as driving on the road?

So now people have notified me of the propshaft problem, I have searched 'Upgraded Land Rover Discovery 1 Propshaft', because you may as well upgrade it when it brakes! Anyway, I have found that there are at least two different types. 1. A Double Cardon Propshaft & 2. A Wide Angle Propshaft...

Okay. Never thought about it being the prop. Thanks for that. What usually causes something like this? General wear or abuse?

Whats the best suspension for epic suspension flex like this?

Cool, thanks for that Sorry to interrupt your build thread fozt..........

okay, thanks for that can you actually see something wrong with it or not?

Update?
