suzota:


whats going on here then.



will it fit???



going down, we had to lose the top bar.



its in :D  :D



little bit of the floor had to go to get the auto box in.
it even mounts on the stock crossmember. :shock:



lets get the t case fitted.


a wee bitt more floor must go.



its in :D


engine mount made and fitted.

suzota:
right as the slave driver was back in derby i did a slower pace today.

made the second engine mount so now the engine is fully fitted.



then i tackled the top bar that we had to cut out in order to get the engine in.

i have made it removable for future engine removal.


then i dropped the bonnet back on, fitted the alternator and winch.


and finally started on the tcase cross member, this will be fully bolt on just in case we need to remove the t case at some point.


axle moved back

now 101 wheel base



4 link and coil overs sorted.

next is the new rear body.

suzota:
right
first job was to weld up all the tube work from thursday.

then i designed the waffle board storage.







then onto the top section of the rear roof area.







and finally a test fit for the first section of the steel work.







made a start on the tin work today.



finished off the drop down spare tyre carrier.
it will have the number plate and light fitted to it after painting.


the big hole at the top will have a hinged louvered panel, and the 2 big side panels will be hinged as well.

suzota:
it nearly killed me pushing it out of the workshop.
i think its heavier  than a discovery. :shock:

wrecker:
that looks,and will be even more of a monster when done,

please keep the pics coming,its great to see what can really be done :cool:
