I can see at least 2 - 3k in parts alone then the cutting, and thats just providing the front quarter panels are not slightly different. Then a new bar for the front. I'll tell my friend to place it in the to hard basket or upgrade vehicles.

Don't worry you'll get to sell me some bit's just not them ones or any for a D2, right now anyway.

Just out of interest though did I miss out on any bits that are required for this job?

Hey Scouse what bits have you got and how much??
I've been toying with this for a while but the prices are

ouch
headlights come up on uk ebay every now and then for $200ish but by time you post here add another $50
and then it's still a big job

There's just a couple of 03MY Disco II headlights that I "salvaged". I was going to have a play with fitting them to the Classic RR but the front profile is all wrong.

I've had an 02 and now have an 03 and the low beam is much better on the 03. High beam is about the same.

Go the globe upgrade with relays. I have 90/130 bulbs in the defender.

At the bottom of the first page there are some before and after shots - Just a loom upgrade No change to globes (they are philips Crystal vision 60/55)

The loom and relays makes a BIG difference...
