Thanks cobber
Will keep it in mind, I'll have to sort out springs once I've got it all finished
I'll be hanging a fair bit of weight out the back

						Haven't achieved much really, finished putting the dash in. Still have to wire in the speedo and a few other things.
I finished the driveshafts, I ended up using H/D Hardy Spicer uni joints. At $60 each I hope they lastIt now drives under it's own power
I have all the pedals in, the clutch was aand the brakes feel fantastic with the Disco 1 booster (thanks SteveG)
The fuel tank is also plumbed in
The main tub is currently in being painted
I dropped it in to get an exhaust made yesterday, I was thinking of doing it myself. I haven't got a welder or the time, so by the time I'd got hold of both of those it wouldn't have saved me much money doing it myself

						Bit of an update
Heading to NZ on a trip with mates, so the Landy has gone back in the container for a while
The exhaust came up a treat, it was pretty expensive but should last as long as the chassis
Td5 speedo is in and wired up, Td5 A/C is also in. Picked up the tub, that also came up a treat. I put a coat of rubberised sound deadener on the underside last night
Trying to figure out the best way to do the doors. My frames are incredibly rusty so I picked up a whole heap of doors off a fella, all damaged. I'm hoping to make 4 decent frames and have them galvanised then painted and new skins fitted. I'll post up photos with the process

						Well I finally found myself a shed and some money. Now to find some time
Most of the panels are painted, waiting for my Wolf rims to be painted, 255/85's are in the tyre shop and 5 brand new doors are currently in with the painter
The deadline is now the 6th of December otherwise I have to go back through the engineering paperwork. Hopefully should have it on the road by then

Dude build looks awesome. I love the way you've persevered with this project. It should be an immaculate rig that will last a long time indeed!
Looking good Jock. Sounds like you've got a busy couple of months coming up

						Made a bit of time on the weekend to get a bit done
Fitted my 120A alternator with only minor modifications to the mount, then finished all the wiring on the engine. Fitted the stop motor and it now starts and stops on the key
I bought myself an air riveter the other day and got stuck into the body
Finally it's starting to take shape

Hi Jock
How much difference is there between the weights of the Isuzu and the 300 TDi?
Also is there much difference between front springs to suit the Isuzu verses the 300 TDi.
Interesting thread.
