Well you never quite know the circumstances when someone sells their dream truck. It's sad to think it happens but priorities change

Ah Rob, small world. Alex got in touch with me last year and I think things fell under the radar. Get in touch if you're still interested. I'd love to come see your setup when the world is normal again.

So are JLR classic selling on your behalf, rather than them buying it from you? LR Workshop

Hi Will,

Small world indeed - Alex is my business partner. Do come down for a visit in the New Year - Alex will be in contact.

JLR Classic are selling the car on my behalf indeed. Here are a few of the photographs taken for the sales pitch, you might notice the external cage and Hannibal roof rack have been removed and replaced with a genuine LR expedition rack and a Mantec snorkel as well. I’ve also had the wheels refurbished but this time had them done in gloss black and fitted new BFG All-Terrain tyres in 265/75R16 size. It has had the roof, headlight surrounds and grill painted in Santorini Black as well.

I've just re-read the whole thread and I must say your attention to detail is impressive. Do you recall where you got the engine bay sound proofing from? It looks incredibly similar to the factory fitted stuff I've seen which itself is much better than anything else I can see on the market.

It looks as though someone did a good job removing all traces of the roll cage. I wonder how all the holes were patched.

The cage was removed and the holes were carefully TIG welded up and ground back. After the new paint job they became invisible! Defender 300Tdi 110 Utility Wagon ROW Overland

Defender TD5,...Brilliant work there, especially the VERY professional electrical stuff,.....are you an Auto Elec, if not, how did you learn all that stuff?
Good work, Pickles.

Hi Pickles,

I am not an Auto Electrician I am afraid; I guess the key to electrics is to be really meticulous and double check everything. I developed a wiring diagram for all the extras on the whole vehicle over a 24 month period, taking the time to re-draw and change bits a pieces as I became more familiar with what I wanted from the vehicle, the thing is with electrics is that you only really want to do it once! I specified most of the wiring gauges etc on the drawing and then had it all checked by an Auto Electrician, once we were both happy I then set about making all the looms and developed an obsession with heat-shrink and conduit as you can see!

I'll update the thread soon as I have some more stuff to add.

Cheers
Rob

Amazing build, especially liking the attention to detail of the wiring. Don’t suppose you could share the diagram you made? All the best
