Hi guys
I've just joined this forum and just wondered if anyone on here is into land rovers, at the mo I'm restoring a 1970 S2a swb land rover was a 2.25 petrol but is now fitted with a Discovery 200tdi engine, I'm at the stage where the new galv chassis is fitted with refurbished axles, new brakes, steering and Parabolic springs and I've just fitted a new Steve Parker 300tdi-series exhaust system ( 300tdi exhaust manifold used ) makes fitting the intercooler pipes easier and neater and also keeps the exhaust away from the bulkhead, the gearbox is the original std one but plan later in the restoration to have the gearbox ratio's upgraded for M'way use as I've already swapped out the std 4.7-1 diffs to Discovery 3.54 -1 diffs and plan to fit an o/d aswell.
The bulkhead is absolutely shot and plan to fit a new galv one, the rest of the hard top body is in great shape although the van sides have aftermarket windows in them and I just want the plain van look then once its finished it will be finished in Limestone.
here are some pic's from what it was to how it is now
