white90 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Me Too then again all I can see of a Defender above is minimal to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I think i spot 5 defender parts! front bulkhead, rear bulkhead, screen surround, roof and rear of truck cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Could do with some back wheels. Alternatively it could be sporting this year's hot look as previously modelled by Rogue Vogue Tidy build but, out of interest, why keep all the LR panels??? You could loose weight, add strength and keep the look by ditching them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicks90 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 normally i love watching buggy builds, brill ideas and fabrication that makes the normal competant welder look like a blind hippo waving a bucket of pidgeon poo about! But the snorkel tube....... Ugly horrible bend. Why not just put another nice smooth blue hose on there instead of the ugly welded angled bend?

Milemarker Type S Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Or just buy a preformed bend and weld it in... the flow characterisitic of that bend will be p1ss poor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 If space is an issue get a 'short radius' bend. THe above is rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I would not have expected something like that from D&G!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's actually quite funny. I just saw this post on Pirate4x4, and they simply LOVE the build! So not taking sides, I just think it's funny with so different opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 are they still using those 5.3 cast iron vortec motors? Hi Dolly. I believe it is a 6.0L - 500,horse Iron block with Ally heads. Told by the boys in the states that an awful lot of ally motors have no bell housing flange any more (if you know what i mean ) Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
