    100" Coiler Light Weight

    Seeing as it's flat sided ,surely it would be easier to fabricate the rear body out of flat sheet and angle iron ;) .

    That way you could you standard bulkhead ,wings ,seatbox and doors and then the "bit" behind the doors/infront of the rear wheels would be longer than a normal 88" lightweight :)

    Cheers

    I too am a bit of a hoarder , have got a pile of series spares and am running a defender so should get rid but keep thinking I might get a series again so may need the parts :closedeyes:

    All said, at least the guy got another vehicle, got stuck with a dead battery and had to be rescued by a Landy :lol: :lol:

    I saw the programme and had the shock of my life as the landy that rescued him was built by a friend of mine :) in Shrewsbury ,Him and his wife travelled around europe for 9 months and then sold it to a woman from london who said she was hoping to go to Africa in it.

    Hope she had her "official toyota recovery vehicle " sticker on it :lol:

    V8 out , TDi in

    Hello

    Last night I bought a 130 chassis cab on a C plate which has a V8 and an LT85 box (factory fit) :) I'll post some pictures in the members vehicle section once I've collected it next week ;)

    The plan is to remove the V8 and LT85 and fit a 300tdi and R380 box , so the question is are the mounts the same or do I need to cut and carve :unsure: ?

    Cheers

    I've got a starrett version of the cheap one which I use for getting the angle of steel buildings and general fabrication ,it works well and have had no problems :)

    Just make sure you've got you're vehicle on a level surface or level the vehicle up before you take any readings otherwise it will give you a false reading (apologies if I'm stating the obvious !) :ph34r:

    I didn't put it in the members vehicles because I wasn't sure how popular it would be with the mods! Open to opinions?

    Si

    Well if it's oily and mechanical I say post it up :ph34r: I'd certainly like to have a look :)
