My rebuild.

Just an update for those interested. The build has taken forever but I have learned so much. 3yrs 3 months and it is done. ( well as done as a Land Rover could be)

Outstanding effort

Ride height looks pretty great too.

Nice work! What color is the body? It's very nice!

Don't know why I never posted the progress of my rebuild up here but thought I would post the link to the photo's of the build so far for anyone that might be interested.
A little backstory. Started out as a 1975 109 exMOD FFR 24volt. It has taken 3 years and I had hoped to have it ready to take to MAR this year but I'm a few weeks away from having it done.
Converted to 12 volt and some upgrades. It was never supposed to be this involved but OCD is a terrible thing to waste!!

thanks much. The body colour is Bronze Green. Roof and rims are Alpine white.

What a great job! Are you planning on putting sills or a set of rock sliders on it? IMO, a series never looks quite right without them.

The truck looks great!

Now you just need to jack up the house a little so you can get the Rover in there a little more easily for maintenance!

Great. I'm having a 110 painted that colour. It's classic.

I love the look of the Trakker seats - so far the closest I've seen to stock look with the added safety of the integrated headrest.

How is the support with those seats? I'm guessing they don't have springs. Can you log miles on them or are breaks necessary?

Can you tell I have a bad back?

Those seats look similar to the ones I had in my SerIII Lwght... they came from the UK on my end, and just bolt down - no springs or else...

liking those seats. they are similar to the ones i had in my SIII 109.

question, what are the metal cross grates you have behind the seats for? and what is the that little box with the gauge and switch for? it reminds me of a flux capacitor...

[jac04]

it reminds me of a flux capacitor...

That's because it is a flux capacitor.

Mike - thanks.

[Tim Smith]

Great job! Can't wait to see it out on the trials.

Good luck getting a Rover with a 2.25 to 88 mph!
