Yes Mike two Thornycroft Antars and correct with a SMHEC generator component.
By the time of these pics the Antar's Rover V8 petrol engines had been replaced with Rolls Royce diesels.
But didn't you think the Defender 90 with the trailer and S1 ute and the Disco pushed right up the back reminded you of the Antar pic?

I could have used the Disco on a few of those hills too:DQuote:

Come on Paul - wheres the goss??? :) I was thinking that we would be seeing photos and plans and suff ;)
Working extra hours trying to pay for her ;)
I wish I was as organised as you Troy. Unfortunately it'll be a couple of weekends of clearing out the garage and arranging things.
My priority at this stage is to get olute out of the weather and into the garage. Next I need to sell on of my Series 2's to make some more room.
Probably stick that in ebay soon!
I may start a few of the easier jobs while I'm waiting - eg: reupholstering.
Also I'm gonna fit some seat belts -- I know it's a little un-authentic but living in the city.......
Then I want to get into the elctrickery of the blinkers, this will be a bit of a challenge for me but I'm determined to work it all out. Multi-meter is my friend ;)
Once I've got her in the garage I'm gonna have a go at the carby and tune her up, adjust brakes.
I'm learning as I go so it won't be a swift process :D
I think I would rather pay the fuel for the Disco than the fuel bill for a pair of 18.4 litre V8 Antars! :( :( :(Quote:

I plan to fix up the few fiddly jobs left. Blinkers, General tune-up and adjust, and then get her on the road. I plan to use her for fun - just trundle around on a Sunday afternoon with a smile on my face :)
Long term dreams woud be to bring it back to original but this would involve locating an original 2L engine and some other bits and peices.
Olute has such a lovely S3 gearbox (Troy said it's only done 20,000km - and it feels great:D) and fully floating rear end which is all in lovely condition so would be a shame to replace just for the sake of originality.
I'll keep my eye out for a donor and who know's what will appear over the next few years. A rusty 55 107 may pop up with all the bits I need - with any luck!
Short term I've got to get my garage cleaned out so I can get her out of the weather:D Always the boring jobs first:mad:
