That is a fantastic DVD. He explains what he is doing, and how things work (like how to MIG and TIG weld) which is very interesting. Would like to know what his budget was though - he just got the best of everything.

I did hear a budget figure bandied around somewhere. I don't recall exactly, but 160 000 pounds seem to ring a bell.

and over 2200 man hrs

Well i have all the bits minus a motor! so far its set me back about 2000 including the old stripped down imported defender body/chassis/motor, rangie chassis, and some good condition county front doors.

It could be done alot cheaper if you use series bits, it would have only cost me 300 so far if i was going series stuff.

But if i decide to sell the 110 chassis and running gear i should recoup some of my money

If you were a bit closer I would be tempted by the 110 chassis, etc to go under my Kingswood ute...

I was thinking of doing something like this in the future when I get bored with my 87 Rangie (will keep the maxis of course for ther hybrid). I like a challenge

Just need to buy a decent MIG welder someday to do it properly.
