[ibex 300 build]

The windscreen hasn't been cut out to full size yet but there is something like 2" box under the aluminum there.

The other ibex belongs to tsd he is lending me some space till I can clear enough in my garage. Dam good photo though.

Current plans are 200tdi/lt77 not sure whether it'll be a disco or def box it depends on prop lengths I have all these so choice was easy. Probably rover front and Salisbury rear on fairly standard suspension as again I have these and this truck will be my daily driver. I'm going to build some sort of box on the back use one one of my dashboards and freelander seats. Colour is not yet confirmed this truck will be IVA'ed and is planned to take about a year to build.

For fridge and tsd.

Just some pics to get you started I've still got to clear a space in the garage to build it.

What's your project? If it's any use, I was thinking about removing all the Electric Drive bits from my Freelander and building a plug in hybrid 90 instead - in which case the body (less engine & box) would be available.

Si

The cheap freelander would be a run around. The project on the other hand is an ibex 300 double cab unbuilt kit I stumbled across on ebay. Always wanted one so when I saw it every thing changed and the 110 had to go.

Selling the 110 Mike?!

I might of bought a new project and the 110 will fund it. So will be looking for a cheap freelander soon.

Mike

[Old Sodbury at Newbury 7th April]

Great day sold most of the quality items I wanted to get rid of had few people take info on my 110 so you never know I might get rid of that to.

Mike

I'm mostly clearing my garage to make room.

[What did you do with your old steering box??]

Cool now all I have to do is find a way of getting it from you to me in Southampton. Any volunteers for a forum relay.

Mike

[What did you do with your old steering box??]

Dirtyninety I would have one off you subject to where you are or getting it to me I'm after a four bolt preferably with a disco arm I need to replace the one on 45.

Mike

[New sub forum for custom builds]

I vote yes and I think anything that is home made/fabbed has a home there plus all the items that are either modified from standard or not used as they were designed for.

Mike

[Kipor generators any good]

Just don't overload them we killed the pcb in ours as they don't seem to have any overload protection ours does now.

Mike

[+2" eyebrows]

Cut the bit that bridges the gap off the original arches job done.

Mike

[what would you do?]

I think I'm going to fix it up and sell it on. Then I can spend the profit on the bits I need.

Mike

[Sureterm Direct no longer offering 4x4 insurance]

Sureterm is part of Lancaster insurance.

Mike

[what would you do?]

The trouble is I need other bits like doors, gearbox, heater and steering box/pump from the 110. I'd probably get about £3000 but then I still need the other bits.

Mike

[Eberspacher Hydronic Lockout remedies?]

Have you looked on the eberspacher website it is very comprehensive with downloadable manuals.

Mike

[what would you do?]

I have a dilemma I have bought a 110 pick up on an E plate. I was going to break it as it has various parts I need for our other two trucks the trouble is bar the knackered td lump it's in good shape it came with a 70k 200tdi and all the bits to fit it but this is the main bit I needed. So would you carry on and break it, fix it sell it buy the parts with the profit or use the tdi then fit the old engine I'm replacing and buy the other bits with the profit.

Mike

[LED lights front and rear]

The BOB standard size lights are a vast improvement the stop/tail lights are now on a par with modern car lights instead of a dim glow. I'm very happy with mine and they were fairly easy to fit to.

Mike

[My new Dash! (Which will be going into the TD5!)]

Definitely to expensive in grp I made an entire dash board for 45 and still have the mould but it would cost £250 to make and that's just materials and Labour so the mould sits in the garage till I want another one for myself .

[Adapting a gearbox for my project]

Why don't you use a discovery lt77 bell housing they are similar in length to the r380 bell housing mind ithink the clutch slave maybe in a different position to the stubby..

Mike

[what axles run backwards]

Could you use P38 axles as the diff is on the other side you could turn them upside down.

[T-Max or Superwinch? or another kind?]

Warning Mr lovejoy (honitonhobbit) has a serious anorak for winches trust me there's nothing he doesn't know about them he's the person who recommended the ep9 to me all those years ago.
