Just had a look through the parts list and it says nothing about engine mounts. Starting to think this is what I am commonly calling 'Jason engineering' seems everything I look at has been bodged within an inch of it's life. (Wish i'd taken pics of them all). Hopefully it will drop straight...

Came out a 90 I think. Having a look at the 19j mounts compaired to the 200 they look completely different. Wasn't sure if it was still a case of drop straight in.

Absolutely hate flow forge. Happier walking across an RSJ a few hundred foot up than Flow forge more than 10ft of the deck.

EDIT IT IS A 300TDI NOT 200!!!! Recently got my hands on a 300tdi engine and gear box. To replace the 19j. How much of an arse is it to do? New engine mounts: - Do the old ones need cutting out? - Will the 19j ones fit on 300tdi, or will it drop straight in? - Will anything need moving back...

The beauty comes when I find the pics of the pannels, Hand made, even the curves were hand hammered and look ace. Match a dream.

Nothing Chink at all. All of it is proper LR. Just a few bits are RRC with a 19j engine, soon to be 200tdi.

Come to today. Finally had enough of the drab horrible, some idiot paint GLOSS black interior. So stripped and painted in priner resdy for 2nd coat. Still in half a mind of doing it jet black like the outside.

Done a full rewire on it. Since the loom was just a nightmare to even do anything with.

Then full floor plates and custom tunnel. Every thing i'm doing has 3 or 4 layers of next phase on top, so the floor plates. Too the tunnel. Hopefully going to look something like a challenge truck when finished.

After the roof swap, I decided to strip 36yrs of house paint and other horrible stuff of it, back to bare metal and start again.

Before we start: - I am not a purist, - This is not a 'real' Series 3, - Yes it is on springs, - No it will not be back to standard. Now all that is over. I swapped this for my 00 TD5 Disco, was dropped off, and been at it for 2yrs now.

Most of the parts have been hand made. And look the bollocks if you ask me.

Will do. Got hundreds from start to finish. Interior is completely custom. From 3mm galv. Just in the process of rewiring it.

Got that battery lead on. It is the rest of it, like power to the fuse boxes and such. It used to be an arse to start, Push a button for the glow plugs, Flip a switch for fuel pump, Turn the keys, Take the keys out, It would keep running with no keys in it.

My Series 3 has a 19j in it. The woring was a burds nest. 36yrs of dodgy stuff, so no chance of sorting it. Just had to rip it all out. Can someone give me and idea of how to get it to turn over?

My little S3, from when i got it too now.

Howdy guys. How do I post pics?

Hello from N.E Lincs. Currently rebuilding a 1983 88in Series 3. Many people say I have 'bastardised' it. But I prefer 'doing it my own way'. So far it has a custom wiring loom, tunnel, ect. With the hope of a Roll cage and everthing else. Tha ks for leting me join.
