The De-Rigeur Pre-Sodbury-Sortout Sortout Thread.

Well it happens every time, and with 2 weeks to go, I figured its about time to post our parts searches / for sales, plus any meetings by the toilets :ph34r: etc.

So, here's me. Actually the Rover content of my build is rapidly dwindling to naff-all squared, but I do have a few odds and sods I'll be looking for:

1. 'Deluxe' series bonnet.

2. Defender NON-PAS steering relay (new, I hope).

3. A fistful of ickle-diddy spotlights.

4. Something recovery-pointy, for front and rear.

5. Maybe some cheapo series rear wings in good nick.

6. Defender wing mirrors (new or VGC).

7. Rear load-space fixings/tie-downs.

8. Various tools and some more axle stands.

9. A full set of LED lights (not holding my breath on this).

...and a Simonr special key-ring jobber (in Orange, natch) if I can spot him... :)

Oh, and a burger for Jez, with all the trimmings... ;)

Al.

P.S. Will there be any stands selling blingy-orange-scrap there, and how are those little stickers coming along - can we get a sheet of them handed out to each car at the gate? :D

4. Something recovery-pointy, for front and rear.

If you mean Jate ring type thingies I have a pair of 2nd hand ones going. I don't want a lot for them!

Does anyone have an interior rear door grab handle for a Defender? I tried to get one at the last Sort Out but had no luck.

Cheers

Steve

Power steering pump for defender 200tdi

probably a pair of series doors, the passenger door can be folded in half on the 90 where the frame snapped.

window/door channel

maybe some winch web for use as an extension

A winch mount cradle thingy perhaps

probably some ex military tat

a bit of recovery stuff

If any one is after a series 3 gearbox on a try and buy basis then I have one in Fareham, hants. I've decided it needs to go, that space can be took up by other tat :)

Yeah, i've got one... removed the crappy weak perfectly good aluminium one from my 110 and fitted an (early? Military?) decent beefy non-bend steel type.

Am looking for half a dozen limestone 5 door soft top 109's

with 200tdi engines already fitted.

Anyone got some lurking around the shed/garage as carrying that lot around a muddy field whilst eating a couple of burgers could be a bit tricky and Mandy wont take too kindly if i chuck them in the back of the Raider! LOL!

WELL YOU DID ASK!
