Thanks, I've actually been trying to find a place to make me one, most places will only do it if I buy a large quantity.

It actually would of been pretty easy to convert it to LHD, but with the 4.0 it was just cleaner to leave it the way it was. It would of been pretty tight with the intake manifold. The color is just a mint green that I liked, it’s close to a Rover color. I just wanted something kinda vintage...

I’m terrible at doing updates, but I’m still at it when I have free time. Most of it is now painted and all the galvanizing has been redone. Still waiting on some more misc stuff. I ended up going with fiero buckets in the front and I’m having Mr. Mikes stitch up some new upholstery with the old...

As in the air cleaner assembly? I haven't really found anything yet that would fit the bill. I figured I'd put a snorkle on it and use a cylindrical type of housing for the filter element. Either side is going to be a pain because of the pedal assemblies and booster on the right side or the...

Yeah, it's still progressing at a snails pace. I don't seem to get much work done on it during the summer months, and I have a way of getting distracted with other projects. The modified 4.0 engine harness is installed. I shipped it off to a guy on another site that thinned it out and made the...

Other than that I tossed on all the front sheet metal to get an idea of where all the stuff is going to be..... and I was in need of some serious motivation. Doesn't it just look like it belongs in there! :ylsmoke: A guy on the Defender site was nice enough the pallet up an extra fender/wing...

Here's what I came up with for the clutch master cylinder. Oddly enough the 2a and a '95 Jeep XJ share an almost identical clutch master cylinder. I ordered one from rockauto on the cheap just in case it didn't work out. Side by side they checked out to be almost the same. The Jeep one has...

And now it's steerable again. I know it's progressing pretty slowly. I unfortunately don't have much free time during the summer.

I went back and forth on the use of it too. One of the reasons I went with the Raptor Liner on the interior was that it doesn't have the build thickness the other commercial hot spray liners do. So if that day came that I had to remove it "might" be a bit easier. In my mind it was another way to...

The bodies are aluminum. The dash "bulkhead" is steel along with the frame.

It also has the pedals installed now..... well, except for the brake. I also had up a local shop bend up some new steel for the top of footwell in the bulkhead because the old ones were just too far gone. Hopefully I'll have the brake pedal box soon from a guy over on the D90 source forum...

From there I used the 96 Jeep Xj intermediate shaft (shortened) hooked up to a 91 Range Rover Classic intermediate shaft (shortened and flipped) and slipped into a 98 Range Rover P38 steering knuckle.

So I think I have the steering situation all sorted out. I wanted to keep the look of the stock column on the inside but have it hook up to the Range Rover P38 steering box as well as be collapsable for safety. I cut apart a 96 Cherokee column and harvested the bushing and bearing (green ring...

If I would of had one sitting in the garage I would of used it. I was just trying to use the stuff I had and things that are plentiful.... There are tons of things I would of loved to use but this should work out ok.

I gave it a few days and started putting stuff back together. I put the seat box back in and was surprised that it only needed a small bit of trimming to fit over the AX15. It's actually starting to look like a Rover again! Picked up the wheels from the powdercoater too!

I know I'm moving like pond water on this build but I don't get the oppertunity to work on it as much as I'd like too. So, I've done some sanding and smoothed out all of the interior bits and gave it a coat of raptor liner. I tinted a mint green, because it just felt right. 😊 I...

There won't be any Lucas stuff left just the Jeep Cherokee engine harness up front. I'll re-wire the rest of it with a Rebel Wire kit. I've used them in the past with good results..... Might keep the stock gauges though. I'm not sure yet on the radiator, but it is going up onto the...

Well the simple answer to that is.... It's just what I had at the time. I built a Dana 300 years ago and had a heck of a time finding one at that time, so I just went with the rover case that came in the truck. I was surprised to see when I was rebuilding it that it's actually quite beefy...

I'm sorry that I'm terrible about posting status updates on my little build. I ended up getting a little side tracked and it had to take a time out for a bit, which was good because it gave me some time to get a good mental picture of what I wanted...... So, if anyone is still interested, here's...

Sorry not a ton of updates to report. Went though a divorce, built 2 Discoverys and a RRC. but now the garage is open again I'll start putting her back together. Frame is all done just needs paint, I ended up using some old FJ40 axles I got on the cheap. So when I get something picture worthy...
