Love the Series 111/Engine. What engine is it,...modified?....what are the mods & what sort of power/torque are you talking? Pickles. |

Did a 240 mile round trip down the M5 and back again to pick up an Ifor top for my Hi-Cap that's on a Sankey chassis

Hi JWL,
That's an amazing idea! What are your plans for it? |

thanks and Hi Pickles it is a 2.25 it has a ported head, twin 1.5 su's on a modified manifold a tubular exhaust manifold and straight through 2.25 inch bore exhaust. it retains the standard cam but revs up very quickly and sounds not surprisingly much like an MGB. It has RR diffs so is a bit higher geared than standard. it does now drive and in its current state feels quite quick and is a lot quicker than my 2.4 (had a bit of a drag race and it minced mine) but there is a lot of bodywork etc still to fit. more photos in my other thread,.It has a galve chassis and rebuilt everything else , obviously not for purists but the electrics have been split with more fuses and relays, brake system and heating are also upgraded, he is aiming to make it an everyday use car and is being built with that in mind, the body work is likely to retain its tired patina when refitted although the underside of the tub, seat boxes and bulk head have all been rebuilt.

The idea is to take this set up off the Defender
Click image to enlarge and transfer it to the trailer. The awning is 10'x6' and can accommodate 2 camp beds, 3 at a push, which get folded up for daytime use. Now with the trailer I will have a detachable panel on the front which will double up as a solid platform in the roofrack but enable the fitting of the 10' length of the awning. A flap door cut in the side of the Ifor will give access from the awning for cooking etc in the dry. This is for weekend camping at shows and events but I don't want to completely tie the tray up just as a camping trailer, a removable raised above the wheelarches will provide extra "bed" space. Hoping to try it out at Convoy4Heroes in a few weeks time. |

The internet based oil fairy delivered some slippy goodness ready for all the fluids to be changed.

Finally got the broken aerial replaced so the radio works well (even if you can hear it so well atm). New rear speakers/pods fitted and new loom run from the engine bay to the rear of the radio. Just need to go and collect my crimper so I can finish the connectors and that will be another job ticked off the list. 2003 Defender TD5 Hardtop (current - work in progress)

Fitted the Nak V2 rear door strut, very pleased, now to tap out the dent in the rear panel where the spare kept hitting it.
Note to self, do not buy cheap Riv gun  |

Fitted a new starter motor to replace the knackered one and fitted new cotton reels to the air filter bracket while the whole system was out.
Obligatory country test drive completed too |

Well again it's proved that Land Rovers are like women, I wanted to fit my spare alternator to Jas as the one currently has a habit of playing up and only giving out 24v. Obviously jas is jealous of all the work I have been doing for Maggie as it was a fight from start to finish! As I was tinkering I thought it would go round and grease the props/ball joints, first stop no2 ball joint with only half a boot.... Guess that's another job to do
