OK folks, update time....

Front suspension lift in, with the incorrect/correct 'Defender' socks, +2 pipes and adjusted spring retainers in place:

And I've cut the old latch retainer plates off the frame, and prepped the new box-section steel to be bolted and welded in place:

I've also received and fitted the Torqueflite dipstick, put on the Challenger rims and started working on the exhaust.... And a friend has donated an unused 50something inch light bar!

Background work is still the dashboard, fuseboxes, switches, steering column switches, headlights, transmission tunnel, Hi/Low shifter, bleeding the brakes, fitting the windscreen wipers, tachometer and speedo.... /deep breath/ etc etc etc etc... :rolleyes::oops:;)
 
Not posted anything in a while.... So here's a shot of the transmission tunnel coming together:

Next to fabricate some sort of mount for the Speedo, Tach and assorted guages....
 
Beware the interior regs.
Behind the steering wheel I believe is a “free area”.

Sorry:(

Whilst the electrics are "in progress", I've done a compression test on the 7 cylinders I can get at.... Is a range from 110-120psi ok for a 3.5v8?
 
Door latches fitted to newly welded and painted box-section... transmission tunnel now boxed in... transfer case H/L lever reinstated... brakes bled.

Now I can't get the damn lump to start! Anyone know any useful/appropriate prayers?
