Why thankyou
 . Must admit i had a bit of a headstart because almost every nut and bolt has been undone in the last 6 months so not too many rounded rusted siezed bolts

Now the chassis is done its time to start on the bodywork
 . Picked up a reasonably good back body from a mate who is building a trayback. So spent a couple of hours rubbing it down and making an access hatch for the fuel sender and removed the cappings for blasting and galvanising

Thanks Steve, i would think it would be possible to cut a hole in situ if you are very careful not to go through too far. Dont know how accurate my measuring is until i get the new body on my car
 . May well have missed the target completely?

Ha ha, hopefully you measured more than once
 best of luck.
Yes, I understand it is close to the fuel pipes. Must resist from using the 12" disc cutter

Measured??? is that a posh way of saying "guessed"?. Yep try to resist using a stihl saw with a 12" blade,unless you want a perfectly square hole in the top of your tank too

Marsie - You say you've done a few D2 axle conversions to Defenders, can I ask if you think it'd be viable to either A) Convert a 2003 110 Rear axle to take D2 air springs, or B) convert a 2003 110 Defender to D2 axles. I would need to retain standard components as far as possible, and do not need to run any oversized tyres.

Cant see why not. You may need to weld D2 type spring plates to the axle but the rear spring seats are interchangeable (bit deeper on d2) and then find someway of mounting height sensors etc. Also the chassis spring seat would need work- inner spring locator ground back and top drilled to secure airbag
Personally i would'nt fit a d2 axle to a 110 due to the weight issues. But no reason why you could'nt mod the salisbury?? 2000 90 TD5,galv chassis, d2 axles ,Bas remap , alisport intercooler , d2 transfer box , side windows-more to come-much more!! *GONE* 2004 110 TD5 Double cab. *GONE* 2010 110 2.4 XS station wagon |

Impressive chassis swap there
 looks like you know what your doing with that and done it a few times before, looking at the pics your work place is not too far from me, I know where to come when I want a galv chassis in the future
Keep up the good work |

Oh yes

We are at swinton so if you passing,call in for a cuppa 2000 90 TD5,galv chassis, d2 axles ,Bas remap , alisport intercooler , d2 transfer box , side windows-more to come-much more!! *GONE*

Yep, thats us
. Forklift is certainly quickest way but not the best way to lift a shiny new puma body
