That looks great.

With the thing in bits, are you not tempted to install twin washer jets? Darren

Thanks, I thought it already has twin water jets.

We have very little intention of driving it in the wet.

My other Landrover does not go out in the rain and has not been on wet roads for years.

Lots going on, We have finally got the Tub back together properly and refitted to the chassis, pop riveted all the capping back together and reassembled the tailgate (took it to bits to have the back side/capping and hinges etc. galvanised), fit the tailgate and then this meant we could fix in the seat box and get ready to try and get the old girl humming again.

I am so loving the look - its just what I wanted Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Great work - looks fantastic Thumbs Up . I seem to have missed this thread somehow, so really enjoyed just catching up on the whole process. You have done a brilliant job so far and it's tantalisingly close to completion now. Hope the first start goes well. Looking forward to seeing the finished article (as I'm sure you are!) 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

My fuel tank had been replaced, but they never changed the neck, or tighten up anything, So I lost nearly £200 worth of diesel! money that I could have done with now or for the future! Yours will be a work of art once finished, But I think you will be sorry to see then of the project. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Well, what can I say?

Firstly, it started second turn of the key, no bleeding at all. It would have started on the first turn if I held it longer.

Now it starts if you just touch the key.

Secondly after a bit of tinkering with the selector on the gearbox - she moves under her own stream.

Today was a great day in the build. Milestone Milestone Milestone 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned.

Just caught up with this thread, really great read and a thoroughly well-executed project. Hope to do a similarly thorough rebuild of my 90 soon and this thread is very inspiring! Thumbs Up Matt.
