Andy.:
Blimey did'nt realise you were talking that sort of time scale  :shock:

Just a bit more than a flat pack from Ikea then  :wink:

Shame I was going to ask if I could have ago too  :lol:

Bush Tucker Man:
Oh yes it's not quite a CKD kit.
Fortunately the only things not included (in the kit we bought) are the MDF/PlyWood, battens, battery & fixings.
Will keep you informed about its progress.

The same guy I mentioned on the 'Not A Land Rover' forum (Nothing like a Land Rover) did consider building one as well, until he saw the price.
Now (alongside the ex-Mines Rescue Atkinson, and my Martian idea) he's toying with the possibilities of buying an old mini allotment/small-holders tractor & re-bodying it.
So it'd have a small diesel engine & 4WD.
Now that would be interesting!

Bush Tucker Man:
The first hurdle has been already reached Andy.
Transportation.

ToyLander (external dimensions);
Length; 1702mm (67inch)
Width; 737mm (29inch)
Height; 767mm (30inch) Folded screen


Trailer (internal dimensions)
Length; 1500mm (59.3inch)
Width; 1100mm (43inch)
Height 450mm (17inch)

So there you go, it looks like a case of adapting (& strengthening) the tail-gate to latch open level with the floor, and finally adding the tie-down points.
Or selling/ px'ing the trailer for a 6'x 4' version. Caddy do a nice twin-axle model at that size, not too dear either

I wonder how people get them to places like Billing;
They're too big to get in a caravan
Too heavy to realistically get on & off a roof-rack
Too big to easily go in anything but a Quadtech 130, High Capacity pick-up, or a 101FC
Take another vehicle with it on a trailer?

Bush Tucker Man:
At long, long last, after numerous set-backs this project ought to be commencing very shortly.
Now a workspace has been sorted out, complete with heating & power.

Hopefully the wood should be collected Tomorrow, or Sunday morning.

Question;
Do I keep a diary on here of the build, or (eventually) just unveil the finished item?, and take it to Billing? (if we don't go to W&P instead)

Thrasher:
On here ;-)
