86 Land Rover Defender 110 shop truck project

[superbuickguy]

What I'm most looking for is what connects with where (more of an overall picture). There's an (I presume) large oil drain back under the turbo that is doing a terrible job of explaining where it needs to connect. As you showed, thank you, the oil pipes on the fuel side it actually added more confusion as to what that connection is for.

... and your store front drove me nuts today - the cart would randomly show what I'd put in it, then when I went to buy it, it'd show me something else I'd put there and neither of the products I actually wanted to buy... eventually, I got it sorted - but lordy, until the final, I figured I just wasn't worthy to buy from your store :wings:

Have you got your photos?
I have got a discovery 2 TD5 and Disco 1 300TDi + Defender 300Tdi, if you need any other photos let me.
Plus the remains of a 300Tdi RR with an engine sitting in the chassis.

Cheers,
Graham

Not yet, but I'm sure he's working on it.

Thanks to both of you - I was starting to get bogged down on this project - your responses really helped.

Hope these help

that is really helpful, thank you! I wish I'd seen the motor mount - for whatever reason the seller didn't send me the turbo side motor mount; so I simply copied the passenger side.... which is 3 1/2" wider than the driver's side... oh well, it's pretty easy to shrink metal - but hard to stretch it.

Man ever since my Series III won the "I'm broken down and you can't fix me battle" I have wanted to take on another LR project......

I was on a travelers budget in a foreign country with extremely limited tools and only where ever the LR broke down as a place to work/fix the rig..... I will live vicariously through you for now

Thanks for posting the great work!

I ordered oil lines, and realized after looking at your picture, that I'm missing yet another part.... sigh.

It's beautiful! Wavy body and all.

I'd add a lumber/pipe rack and call it done!

Looking good! I really like this truck.

Any idea on the part number for the rubber grommets that are used to support the intercooler?

I think those are the ones he used on the radiator mount - and the ones I have and am trying to use. On my build the intercooler seems to really want a different style as it is ever so much shorter than the radiator. I have Allisport stuff for reference.

Wow... Look at you going all 'up town' with the Allisport

That decision created its own set of issues.
