Oh well time to remove some of the big bits
Got to start somewhere and find out what is lurking under the bodywork
Might as well start with an easy bit

Description
And then a bigger bit (it only took 2 hours to remove)
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
This is the point when i decieded that i would be converting to soft top
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
And then to get the back door off

I've just fitted wider arches to cover them ( 35x12.5x15 )
Just about to fit hard top sides with windows similar to yours - I've just tinted the side windows ( pimp my ride  )
What's the plans for yours ?
Looks like a good base for a project.

Then off with the bonnet
 
Description
 
Description
And then to look at removing the front wings
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
And the other side (much easier when you have done one before)
 
Description
 
Description
 
Description
Look no wings (it aint no RED BULL)

I did that with a series II, it started as a "let's have a look under the wing" and ended up as a chassis up rebuild,....
great fun, still got it!

Im keeping it simple
Its getting a 300tdi (yes it has one in allready) hooked up to a auto gearbox and positioned in the correct place for the 300 so i can fit standard
land rover parts.
I have a hydraulic winch for the front
New suspension
New soft top roof
Its going to be nice but not too nice so i dont mind driving along over grown greenlanes
Well EVERY bit of steel is being galvanised and i mean EVERY bit i hate rust and it has no place on this world
I was thinking of fitting 35" tyres on my 18" pro comp extreme but i might just fit 285/70/18 bfg at's (come in at just over
33" as i have my set of 305/70/16 grizzly claws sat in the garage

Coming along nicely
I've got a 300tdi with autobox in a Disco I'm scrapping.
It's got the edc pump which can be made to work in a 90 or stick a manual one on.
Open to sensible offers.

Looks like its going to be epic mate. There is just something about Land Rovers that are awesome. The more dents and scratches on a Landy means
only more character.

I started about 2 months ago and only just got around to getting the pics off the camera. Will be putting up some more pics soon.
They are great (and simple) to work on but you do need space, about 3 times the space of a land rover is best and with the bodywork being aluminum its
nice and light, just big
