One of the ex mod 110 I'm bringing over. It's towing the wife's Sankey field kitchen across the pond with it.

If I remember right, that turbo is pushing the engine to the max already. I have the feeling the bottom end lets go (broken crank?) if you try to push it to hard. 2.5 diesel is a great engine, I wish I had one! But you may want to keep it stock. Hope someone chimes in and corrects me if I'm wrong.
That is my concern as well. I am having lunch with him on Tuesday and going to really ask him what he does. His shop is well known for their work - http://www.forcedperformance.com so obviously the last possible thing I want to do is lose the crank.

I am noticing in some photos, the rivets remain unpainted, but some are. I understand the mid section rivets are not usually painted, but what about the remaining rivets towards the back? I am in the process of restoring my 86 110 and would like to keep it as original as possible... Does anyone know if rivets were painted from the factory?
I appreciate any advice I can get!!!

Seres trucks were painted with the callings off, which were galvanized and installed with rivets (aircraft and pop style) after painting.
In 72 they went to all pop style rivets.
Defenders have the cappings painted, not galvanized. I suspect the body and cappings were separately primed, and then riveted together prior to final paint. So, the river heads would not be primed and therefore the pair could pop off the rivets years later.
Just speculation but seems plausible.
When a Defender gets repainted, it gets primed and painted completely assembled, so the paint would be adhered better to the rivets.

1995 110 Regular
The early 110 with galvanised capping, which was fitted after the body was painted, meant these rivets are unpainted . The vehicles with painted capping were painted as a whole vehicle set with capping's already fitted ,so any rivets were painted as well , On Series vehicles, 110 and Defenders these mid section panels, fitted on the angled area to the rear of the rear side doors was always fitted on final assembly ( After all the painting) and the rivets were not painted . They often get painted after accident damage or other repaints. I had a vehicle hit the side of my early 110 and was very particular to point this out to the repairers to make sure they were not painted.
