Got the propshafts on. 16 bolts. 15 bolts took about 15min to put on. The last bolt (one of the captive ones from the tranny) had damaged threads from shipping. It took me 2 hours of fiddling to give up and resort to power tools. I cross threaded the bolt on with my impact gun...
 I will pay for this later
 Click image to enlarge Got the rad mounts on. Will need to weld some tabs on the top of the rad cover Click image to enlarge One half done - then had to break for dinner Click image to enlarge Also found out that the Disco transducer in the R380 has a different size square (2.6mm) than the cable from my 110 (3mm). Also spent about 1 hour trying to put this together with no luck.....

Thanks Mk1. My V8 was never really very powerful or reliable, I am hoping the TDI will last me for a long time.
Had some more time last night Rad mount top supports welded in and painted Click image to enlarge Installed! Click image to enlarge I had to reposition the top cap over the suspension to get the coolant reservoir to fit properly. Anyone see any issues with doing this? Click image to enlarge After this it fit really well and the hood closes Click image to enlarge Also worked on getting the engine bay cleaned up from the rats nest that I posted earlier BEFORE Click image to enlarge AFTER Click image to enlarge Remaining items: I have to order a new speedo cable and shifter knobs Install E-brake install Shift Lever bushing Re install interior Muffler Grill and support Horn Cheers Tim Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Series II in pieces

Did some more work on the weekend. Forgot to take photos of most of it.
I pulled the parking brake apart to try to use the one from the LT95 but it had a different end on it than the R380 end. I figured I could make it work by cutting the two tabs off and shaping it into the end from the R380 cable, Click image to enlarge I had success it getting this done and had it nicely installed but it seems that the cable length to stopper is different so it would not release enough to get the brake not engaged. 2 hrs later I was back to where I started..... 
I also found the worst job so far. The spring and washer that hold the brake pads on are a  . I worked for about an hour trying to get the stupid little washer in and around the T on the retainer.
I cursed this ..... Click image to enlarge I finally bent one end up, put some vise grips on it and it went on the first time.... (sorry for the bad picture but you can get the idea) Click image to enlarge I have also lost the horn wire, need to look closer to see where it went? I also got the rad cover and front cover on Install E-brake (need to order cable) Install Speedo (need to order cable) install Shift Lever bushing (in the post....) Re install interior (mostly done) Muffler (need to have fabricated) Horn - need to find wire..... Disco Air cleaner needs to find a home in the engine bay unless there are other suggestions I took it for a drive now that I have the cowling in over the transmission. Much quicker than my old V8. The engine temp came up higher than the V8 but stopped at about 3/4. I am going to get one of the digital ones that go on the exhaust output as they seem to be the best solution for this.
