Diff Third Member Mounting Bolts

If you are going for coils, keep your eyes open for a cheap Disco or RRC with 24 spline axles. You will have everything you need once your frame arrives to get it rolling.

Rear 88" axle case

We do get good used rear axle assy's from time to time, price is around $250.00.

Just a thought....

Yup... we have a huge wrecking yard here in SD that is all european. Three classics down there right now.

Wow! That's going to be an extremely expensive build given the cost of a 300tdi these days...

But sounds cool even from a traditionalist like myself...Post pics!

Yeah, I am guessing ~5K for the tdi, another 1.5-2K for the frame, plus additional bits like axles and what not.

Well, called Designa-Chassis in the UK this morning, spoke to a wonderful lady on the phone who informed me that they no longer ship abroad due to damage of the frame happening more often than not.

So I am going to have to find a shop that regularly sends containers over and see what I can do to "hitch a ride" to get the chassis here.

I need to call back and speak to someone else (I didn't quite get the name of who) who can tell me whether they can put the 300tdi mounts right on it and the lead time it would take.
