Hey up, Got a quite a lot done. the exhaust is finished and on Ive got tub in the garage and Im well on the way with it, Ive removed the rear fuel filler and plated it over also the tub mounting points which are quite badly corroded regards chris

Here goes, i've not got a picture of the finished system as it was too dark. the exhaust that was with the landy was brand new, never been used so subsequently certain bits had rotted ie the silencer, so I've used the front pipe which had already been altered to fit the bmc 2.2, also the...

nope just two front tanks, i did consider having a rear tank as the body side filler is there, but it was easier and cheaper to put another front one on the nearside. plus i feel it balances the vehicle out better. I've got my exhaust made and it cost me ..... nothing, always a bonus...

Thanks folks, it is a great feeling, although quite odd been so much higher. My rover metro seems very small now. I've started building the exhaust and should have it finished end of play today. regards Chris.

Hello, I know its being a while but I`ve not been idle, honest. As said in the previous post i was preparing for waxoiling well what i`ve done is chemiwaxed the inside of the chassis, ie every cross member, outrigger the lot, also I`ve waxoiled the outside in black, also both fuel tanks have...

Hello, I know it's been a while but hey ho, since my last post I've got a fair bit done mainly the 200tdi is in finally. Now a note regarding the engine, due to a lack of reddy's she's going be a 200di for a while because I havent got : A Intercooler, a oilcooler or the correct radiator also...

Right then, The engine is in finally with the mounting's finished and primed, I did the same as the other side, inserting the mounting's into a piece of 1/8" plate. But with this side I had to make some spacers to bring the mounting outward's from the block by 3/4" so it would meet the...
