Happy spannering then. It does make a difference for a few years not having to worry about things with a rebuilt motor. I put the chassis under mine about 1995 as the chassis was shot when I bought it. Now has a galv bulkhead.

Yeahh, thats what I am rapidly beginning to think tbh... I could probably repair this one but really, its 35 years old on a vehicle I already admit I will keep forever and I have the galvanised bulkhead ready. Yes have space and managed a bonus...

So for welding & make your life easier Take rear tub off. Take doors & bulkhead/wings off Carry on doing the above & your 1/2 way to a chassis swap. You know you will be chasing rust on the old chassis. Have you got space to change the...

Thanks mate, but more like a sort of madness

I know you're nearly there now, but should you need further help, @tyregeezer pulls D3/4 engines in and out for laughs. The man has no fear....

Hi mate mot inspector going to go over your D3 tomorrow, going to check brakes, for corrosion and leaks as per proper mot, but am pretty sure their ok, but could be proven wrong, will see, will also check for welding, myself can have a look over...

If its just something to work on together I wouldn't necessarily discount a 90, I mean at least they're a manageable size... or a later series for a restomod style build? I guess you don't really know what this child will want, they might even...

That is the issue and why this is an uphill battle. She has driven it once about 10 years ago on a green lane and has refused to drive it since. She is only a begrudging passenger when her car is too small which is far more often now there is a...

Looking for a cheap 110 is looking like a challenge. Why not do a 90? All the parts forward of the door latches are the same. If your looking for a series motor look abroad,everything fits in a container & gets delivered

https://ebay.us/m/TRlEbV https://ebay.us/m/RtXjcc A few in your range that look like fun 🤔. https://ebay.us/m/8YuwUA Dont seem to have any bites on this, already has the chassis. but if its in a field for 10 yrs it may still need some...

I will pipe in with my 2p worth. What you value your (on the road 110) is what you value it at, if you feel you are undervaluing it then you need to tell your insurance. So keeping an eye on todays values is fine. But. You are talking about...

They have wipers to.

Seems a tad extreme for removing crows. 🤔

Welcome to LZ. I would be wary of over gearing it as you could end up with a 4 speed car as fifth will be unusable on anything that resembles a hill. Considered an overdrive? On the other hand ear plugs are dirt cheap.

I have it as a single piece in the second row footwell of the station wagon.

I bought this 110 couple of months ago for £700. Its, basically, an ID, some axels, and a load of dashboard parts (which would really add up if you had to buy them all) I have the majority of the required parts to make a ropey work vehical left...

@doriz I normally find landrovers here But this was on https://m.facebook.com/groups/138796726689167/

I saw this one currnertly on eBay which is more my price point: LINK. But need to persuade the wife that unborn child number two needs a Land Rover like I did for unborn child number one. She is currently very unhappy about the idea and thinks...

And the excess makes good front mats. (Yep have heavy duty in the Hicap tub & footwells)

Or the cheap version, skip the sound proofing, and use THIS and a stanley knife!

So massive thks to @tyregeezer for collecting the D3 today , pictures to follow Massive thks once again mate

I remeber Mrs wanted a few shots of high driven clays,well I forgot the spare shells that day were 36grms 9’s (used as range finders) She gave both barrels to the clays and me afterwards. I chuckled and put some 24g 8 in for the next pair.

But 36 gms of 4 shot ends them betterer 😁 My shooting mate bought a ‘crow caller’ at the shooting show this year. Sounds more like a bl00dy duck!

I've got a Primos crow caller which is 100% effective. I used to call crows in from a wood on a farm i used to shoot to get them in range. 34gms of no5 shot ended them.

There was one On a galv chassi but had been part stripped. At least you have time to collect the parts. V5 etc think no engine though

Hiya, Thanks for trying. I'm in Manchester, UK. Did send Paddocks a message. Thought it might be something they would know - dealing internationally etc, but they just gave me a "don't know" response. An independent specialist nearby called...

Haha fair shout 😅 I was deep in a Google rabbit hole and suddenly found a bunch of people asking the exact same thing I was struggling with, got excited, started typing… didn’t even notice I’d time-travelled back to 2011 Still, glad to see some...

Did you see this on the bay in projects?

There is junk on the bay thats asking stupid (high) money by the time you have sorted missing panels you would never get money back. As for you link that’s had the desert dust eating away at the doors.

This is important and very sage advice. One of the big advantages of the defender is that you do not buy the perfect one you build the perfect one, whether you are doing that yourself or paying someone else. All you buy in the first instance is...
