Thanks guys. @ Zagato - you are right, it is going well for what is a huge amount of work really. I'm using TJC in Norfolk and they are nice people who seem to know what they are about, and a full rebuild is a big logistical exercise to accomodate within a small business, so I don't envy them the task. I've just been a little shocked about, after four years, how much I and the whole family have missed having the Landy around and taken her usefulness for granted. A recent week in the Lakes was a case in point - mud, dogs, bikes, hiking gear and the cream leather interior of my wife's 5 series was not a good combination. And it's on the green lanes too  Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8 CLS 350 CDI for the sensible stuff

Good Luck hope it goes well with the Landy appears a number of us have BMWs as second cars and have found them a bit lacking in the off tarmac arena, first time I took mine off the road onto a nice grassy flat field it set fire to the grass underneath it. Perhaps one off our tuning friends on here should do BMs as well and I could buy a de-cat pipe DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS, I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

Great looking vehicle I'm building a 110 SW Utility in Beluga Black, using a galv chassis and new take-off shell. The bulkhead was going to be galvanised........no it was galvanised and painted..........but after after getting back into the build after a couple of years I found out that the it was twisted......... I purchased a brand new one and resprayed it and hey presto the doors shut properly. Fitted a 4.0L GEMS and auto box I'm using 4x4 Reborn to help me leap frog closer to useable stage (never be finished).

alfajock Member Since: 12 Jan 2011 Location: Bedfordshire Posts: 227	@ Romadog Hey, I was admiring what must have been your vehicle on the ramp at 4x4 Reborn back in January when I visited them looking for a supplier. That's going to be a seriously nice truck, and Steve seemed like a good bloke who clearly knows his stuff so good luck with the rest of the build - you'll get there! Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8 CLS 350 CDI for the sensible stuff

Now that I think of it, I guess your bulkhead was one of the cautionary tales that helped persuade me not to do that Small world Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8 CLS 350 CDI for the sensible stuff

Excellent colour choce About ten years ago I had the building of a 110 costed up by TJC after they were featured in one of the magazines. Couldn't quite run to it in the end and bought a Discovery instead, but their work looked excellent. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?
