  1. Would take a px for a Winchester SXP or trade for a good air rifle (PCP)
  2. I'd have taken those sills for the gf's series if they weren't in lincolnshire :(
  3. You can buy a front replacement panel from YRM I think, what I'm doing on mine is simply spot weld a plate on the rear of the light recess and then smooth over
  4. looks like someone in the past fitted a 2 grille with lights on it as well as the wings with lights and then owner after has tried to make it look like a proper 2. my gf has a series with the four lights on front as people liked messing with them, if I find her a set of proper series 2 panels I'll be swapping them over as its a 1962 series 2 my series 3 on the other hand will soon have no visible headlights
  5. Close thread please
  6. No 7.5x16 are the correct size. You have undersize on there atm, 205's are standard disco size, 7.5's are standard series and defender size as well as camel spec disco
  7. May be asking a but much on that dude I paid £40 for the 180 model
  8. Decided I want a widetrack so 220 Ono on this narrow track
  9. Balls :( I would have had some bits off that disco too had he been breaking it as no doubt it would get onto ebay :( Yeah disco axles are a nice upgrade, stance will be 3" wider IIRC but you can use properly offset wheels to fix this, welding wise I'd remove diff and shafts then use a dremel to remove the rust and then patch over using stick welder (partly cos thats the only welder I now use) Oh you also get strengthened 24 spline internals and the ball joints are better partly as they're CV's instead of balls
  10. This is for radically altered vehicles which it may or may not fall in to Chassis or monocoque bodyshell (body and chassis as one unit) (original or new)* 5 n Suspension (front & back) 2 n Axles (both) 2 n Transmission 2 n Steering assembly 2 n Engine 1 So he'd keep 5 for chassis, 2 for suspension and 2 for trans, 2 for steering and 1 for engine so easily over 8 On my build it was a bit more dicey when I was planning axle swap so gave up on that and I keep suspension, steering, chassis and axles
  11. No, axles are only worth one point. Status is kept, need 8 points to keep status
  12. Not a hard conversion, cut off spring mounts from disco axle and use flap disc to remove and burs then weld on some channel or folded plate to act as spring locator for leaf and job done on rear, front is a bit more awkward as you have to contend with steering arm but not a major issue Where in north yorks are you, if you're close enough to cumbria and want to prep them first feel free to pop them over and if I get a few minutes spare I'll weld them up for a pint and pack of pork scratchings
  13. Yep, engine running and putting in radiator this weekend. Gotta use a Saab 93 rad from a tdi in order to get decent cooling with a tiny rad so I don't lose the series front end now
  14. My series 3 king cab is coming to the end of its project life, soon to be on the road A build never goes to plan but good luck they're always fun though!
  15. Sorry bit too far to sort something I'd think, I'm at least 7 hours north! Could RFD but not ideal
  16. I would be interested in trades for workshop tools etc
  17. Now on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161027900092?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2648
