SupporterI was looking at your tray. What have you done to the fuel filler? Does it come up into the floor of the tray?

G'day Guys sorry been busy with work at the moment and trying to find a decent video converter so I can upload more videos
juddy: I bought a written off defender wagon 110 chassis from the guys at british off road they did 75% of the rebuild was going to buy a galvinised one but it didn't seem wirth the extra dollars at the time.
wovenrovings: the fuel filler is mounted on the side just like all normal trayback but that pic was taken before the timber floor went in so it was placed there to keep out of the way this tray is forsale has alittle more scratches on it and would suit a 110 ute only.
Long stroke: thanks for the complemets
sclarke: the engine is a 4.6 rover V8 and the blower came with it from victoria i have had so many dramas with engineers to get it registered in QLD so it's not on at the moment and no one can give me a decent answer why I can not put it onbut i will be putting it on shortly as I may finally have a way around it as for boost I dont know aparently I need to ring capa and tell them what size the pulley is and they can tell me from that.
At the moment I have installed new air bags on the rear and will be turning the cab into an extra cab so I can fit the internal rollcage i will post up some pics as I go but at the moment its been raining every bloody day up here so havernt had anytime to work on it

Wovenrovings the new tray I will be building will be shorter again and was thinking of mounting it up through the floor of the tray just to get it abit higher so my tank doesnt fill up with water

Cab Extension
That certainly is one awesome beastie Hally!
You mentioned that you plan to extend the cab. I have been comtemplating doing this to my 110 for a while now. A few years ago I did some repair work on my tray so I took the opportunity to mount it further back. I now have about an 11 inch gap (where the spare is currently mounted to keep the tray space clear).
Most of the panel work seems fairly straight forward, but I have hit the wall when it comes to what to do about extending the roof. I've seen some conversions on various vehicles online where an old wagon roof was used, simply by cutting it down then reattaching the rear vertical panel. The problem with this is you end up with square rear corners so you can't reuse the upper section of the cab with the windows in it. The only real solution I have come up with so far is to cut the back off and find someone who can weld another piece in.
I'm interested to know what your plans are.
