1980 Land Rover Lightweight Series III Build

[Victory_Overland]

@telwyn Can you please quit your job and get rid of all of your other distractions that are keeping you from working on this build and publishing the progress?

 

[telwyn]

No kidding! This is the slowest build ever. The shop it is at is wonderfully talented but they are managing multiple projects and the other owners are more demanding than me.

who makes that seat base box panel you are using?

Are you referring to the cubby installed in the seat box? If so, it’s from Rough Parts in Austria. Extremely well built but not cheap...

Had the day off today so I was able to visit the shop again to check in on the ongoing build. They are starting to fit the body parts back on, have done a lot more wiring work (with loads more still to do), and have installed the seat belt bar. Pictures below...

Sourced a two piece Land Rover Lightweight military tailgate. Now need to order the cat flap upper door/window.

 

[telwyn]

You can run it with just the lower piece if you want easy access in and out, but need enough of a barrier to keep stuff from sliding out the back while you are on the go.

And here it is with both tailgate pieces

The seat belt bar going in...

Custom rear quarter panels - these will house the rear speakers.

 

[telwyn]

Lots and lots of wiring...

 

[telwyn]

Body parts going back on...

 

[telwyn]

Visited my Lightweight in the shop today. The wiring work continues as does some of the body work. I like what they are doing to fabricate the rear quarter panels for the speakers and aux switches and power outlets...
