CwazyWabbit Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Love to see Ian/BBCs V8 rebuild thread in here, without the petty bickering at the end, and the photos restored somehow The bickering is all gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Would the older builds be better linked into an "sticky" index thread. That way the forum could act as normal, fresh, recent threads as normal with the best cherry picked for the index???? That's quite a good point and is probably simpler. The index could also indicate better what these old threads contained as some of them have titles that don't emphasise the detail of the content.

landroversforever Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 My be a silly suggestion, but how about the build by gremlin (I think it was) of the toylander? Built from scratch and powered by a wheelchair I think it was. That was a good read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'd also nominate the cagework thread for Fridge Freezers 109 http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=69697 and DirtyDiesels cage work on his .... errr... almost a land rover http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=64430 I think it would be good if all threads from, say fridges 109, from over the years are getting merged int one big 'fridges 109 thread'. That would save a lot of searching if you remember a detail from that car. Adrian, your car should definately be moved here. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 i agree with all the above, and one thing I personally would like to get moved is my Mog 404, it didn't ever really fit in as it was not a LR, so think it would fit much better here. It did, mind you, have a few custom touches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriebil.dk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How about the Barge build - BIC I second the frigde wagon and sorens mand treads. What happen with Georg, Did it ever finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Mine? Or is it rude to self nominate??? Personally, I'd rather it was voluntary rather than nominated. As for scope, any new build, rebuild or extensive mod would seem reasonable (the latter being things like engine swaps, transmission conversions, axle or suspension conversions and the like). Using the tag line or title to say what the project is would be useful to readers, in addition to the name of the owner, eg. "Bob's 110 rebuild", "Chris' 2.8 engine fit" and so on.

mmgemini Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is this JUST for vehicle builds ? What's wrong with adding some of the modified trailers and my scratch built trailer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't think anyone has suggested excluding trailer builds, Mike - a lot of people on many forums are enquiring about information for rebuilding Sankeys or building expedition trailers. They sound like good thread subjects to me, under the banner of "special projects". Should the powers that be decide to have a trailer forum, then that may change things.

I don't think we need a trailer build forum. Just add the trailers into here. Or put it another way. If it has wheels then in here. That leaves the "Tools and Fabrication" for just that. I'm looking forward to being able to read a lot of those builds I haven't seen. It's very nice to see how others have done things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongie Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I suppose my 101 thread should go in here as after all it fits the bill of being a modified vehicle and albeit ex military doesnt really fit in the military catagory anymore!

Les Brock Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just a suggestion, Should there be a sub-forum for smaller projects with the main section being for full/re builds ? Just thinking out allowed ! Regards Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't think there is any reason smaller projects need a sub section, too much desemination could be a bad thing. small or large as long as it fits better here than in other sections then it should be fine.

twodoorgaz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 My thread about building a N/A tdi engine may well be a contender for this section: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=81711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Soo when will the chosen threads (whoever does that) be moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
