Diary of TDI Conversion - Day 14 Body lift

G'day Guys,

Well today was yet another busy day - winching my RR onto a car trailer at 6.30am and not waking the neighbours was difficult!!

Well she left this morning on the trailer:

Before putting the chassis under the body I removed all the old body mounts - as you need to used the metal plates / spacer plate with the body kit. The body kit I used was a Graeme Cooper one, here in Sydney, which provides new genuine rubber mounts / longer bolts / alloy spacer.

The body lift kit is very easy to fit even while the body is still on the chassis.

Here is the rear mount and the alloy spacer:

And the front mounts:

and after a couple of hours the body was back on.

THX to Larry, again!!!, as he retrieved my RR after the body was back on.

What a wonderful site - 2 TDI's!!!

Sweet. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I've spent the day with CJ fabricating some more 2" body mounts out of 3mm plate.. The defender county set-up is very complicated but the metal working is satisfying. Should have been a blacksmith!

What is next?

G'day OI,

I now need to start all the plumbing and wiring, then try to fit the Disco interior into the RR.

Only issue is now I only have 1 day left of my holidays

BUT on schedule for end of April, as I will only be working weekends from now on.

I noted your urge to fit a Disco interior.

Nothing is impossible but why?

John was wondering when your full time effort was due to expire.

We contemplated months of Saturdays today as more detail and a front rusted chassis rail reared its ugly head. 8O
