Thread: V8 110 County build

I think I hurt my neck looking at the photos....

Lots to update! Car is running ok. Had a tune but it needs s new choke cable so trying to source one but really struggling to find one! Below is a list of what has been done:

• Black marine carpet installed
• lotsss of sound proofing everywhere
• dash recovered in black vinyl
• mud UK dash console installed
• headlining finished and installed
• coolant flush and new thermostat
• tinted the windows
• repaired rear windows with 2013 ones
• new rear wiper motor
• replaced all door seals
• repaired rust and painted inside of front doors

I can't figure out how to add photos directly from my phone so I will upload them when I have a but of time on the computer.

I am now focused on getting ut running well once I can find a choke cable.

I also need to get the rear seat installed and the load area all tidied up. Can't wait for some spare time to do it!

I also have some newer defender seats that I will try and tidy up and put them in

I have a brand spanking new genuine Land Rover choke cable sitting idle in my shed if you need one.
PM or reply if interested.

Just cleaning out the shed, found a choke cable assembly for a 110 V8 if you're still looking for one.

PM me.

I really need to check this more often as I spent a bomb on a choke cable from land rover. Thank you above for the offers!

The car is now running well and I am continuing with the interior fit out. I will post more pictures when I get onto the computer

The to do list continues but in summary:
Interior nearly finished, currently wiring in the dual battery setup with a 105 ah deep cycle and a simple VSR setup.
Mechanically it is going pretty well, still a bit rich but needs a good tune by someone who knows carbies better than me
Exterior is just about done. Need a tray for the roof rack, and a hoop for the bumper.

It is now at the point where I can drive it around comfortably and reliably. It is a billion times quieter inside. at 100kph we can easily have a conversation without raising our voices at all. When there is no wind noise (below say 40kph) just about the only thing you can hear is a slight whine from the gearbox and a quiet purr from the v8. Road noise is all but eliminated until you hit above 60kph or the road is rough.

Over the next week I will be working hard on making the camp setup in it. This is the reason i bought the car, I have put heaps of thought into planning it. Now it is time to make it.
