Windows in next - have the rear ones replaced with 1 piece glass Then the roll cage Then to finish the mechanics and get it running, before starting on the interior..........so much more to do! At least the seats are now finished

And the body is finally painted

Doors have come out good before and after photos

Then back to the paint shop....

Then get the body back on the chassis

More prep work completed. Underside welded, treated, painted

Not updated for a while - work, covid etc all hampered progress, but finally taken some steps forward.

Also a question for the more enlightened out there. Bulk head vents - keep them or seal them? I have aircon on this vehicle and windows that work, so I am tempted to seal the vents and remove the potential danger of water ingress. Any downside to doing this?

Anyone spot anything wrong with the rear of this 300TDI chassis?

Latest photos. Build going well (generally), few small challenge to overcome, more on that later.

Few more photos 1 x knackered steering arm The underneath is not to shabby just needs a damn good wash to start with Some bits to be sandblasted and painted They came up alright and now have the SuperPro bushes in place New Chassis in place, just needs building. Old one now...

Thanks, have a thread going under Projects - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/1998-lhd-300tdi-rebuild.358488/#post-4842656 which has more photos etc. Slowly but surely getting there......

Wheel nuts sorted, finally

While the chassis swap is underway, thought I would take a look at the doors and see what state they are in............ Looks like some welding, general clean up to remove rust and new seals, wind runners etc.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Will be taking a closer look next week when i can get back in the workshop and see if anything can be done. Worse case, I have found a scrap yard with 4 x 300 TDI's, so will go and pull buts from them.
