Haha, weld-a-thon!!. . For a landrover owner this is known as a service. I will be watching this. I like the concept.

You say they may not be used? What options are you thinking???

Looks great. Not sure how your going to get behind the wheel but looks great.

a little progress,





bit of primer to protect it.

Gonna be watching this with some considerable interest.

Given that there are so many old LR's with knackered bodies ( principally D1's, I know ), I am surprised that such projects don't "appear" more often..

Best of luck with.. So far, it looks amazing.

Oh no - the LAST thing i needed was inspiration.....!!

Great thread, great project - watching with interest....

Looking good but I'm surprised you haven't ground back the welds before priming it.

im sure it will look ace when done but right now theres a hint of the eagle I thrust hammerhead.

Loving the potential here

went and picked the engine that will be in it for a while, landrover 2.5na diesel, not the quickest but needs must.

80mile round trip with it in back of an astra was a bit of an experiance.

me and the boy managed to get it in the engine bay tonight, sits further back than i expected, but i can live with that. need to sort engine mounts.

and find a gearbox.











need to find out how people deal with engine mounts putting a 2.5 (90 swb) into a swb series chassis. ?

primer could be sanded of yet and clearcoated.

not much progress lately, but managed a couple of hours this afternoon. lots of welding and grinding, and primer to protect it.

I applaud you - upset the purists!
Good looking machine.

C'mon @poprodder . Ows it going. You must have done a bit ?

wasn't this up for sale on gumtree recently?
