Stirling made it. He is an engineer so this is what he does instead of watching TV.

Good stuff. I am considering something similar. I have picked up a D2 V8 wreck. Will be watching with interest.
Would it be feasable to use the rear section door and d pillars as the rear section. Obvously solid welding so there were no gaps. Only issue I can see is the tapered window.

Well, in case you were all wondering... yes I am still alive... been kept very busy trying to get the Stage 1 back together (a long way off yet).

Anyway, this is just a quick update. Tyres have arrived Silverstone Extremes, 35" x 11.5" x 15"... Big tyres!!

Picked up the set of 5 brand new for $1,405.

We now have an assortment of silverstone extreme tyres in the workshop! Wayne's 33s and my 35s.









Time for me to go quiet again. I may have a 3.9L engine and gearbox soon, will need to see. Aside from that I won't be doing anything until my stage 1 is back on the road. I'm now going to go and update that thread!

Makes the mouth water just looking at the rubber !!

Great price Stirl! Well done

Alan

Very nice Stirling.Cant wait to see this beast all finished.

Ok, just another quick update:

I've bought a wrecked 1996 discovery. It has the important bits I need for the project, a 3.9L engine with serpentine front end and 10 bolt heads and a ZF auto transmission.



So that's the engine and transmission all sorted out!!

Everything except the radiator and the front end of the car is fine, I'll be selling all the bits I don't need so if anyone is chasing any parts, let me know.

The Stage 1 is getting close to finishing (sorta). So hopefully I can get back into this project full swing and get it done!
