And in other news the 110 DCPU to Utility Wagon project progresses with my £89 eBay bargain 110 SW sides filled, faired and primed. I can recommend Duncan at Crieff Spray Shop. These had cut-outs for side and rear glazing and he did these for £180 a pop. I'm going to paint them grey in due course.

Just need to get the re-chassised 110 back from Tayside Land Rovers to start the project. Matthew - if you frequent these forums - here's hoping that Santa delivers Shocked

Oh - and new seatbelts to replace the ones that wouldn’t retract and got munched by the doors. New rear door trim has just arrived and is a Christmas present for my younger son, who hasn’t found this forum yet! Don’t ruin it and tell him that Santa doesn’t exist 🎅

For anyone vaguely interested the 90 went for its MoT yesterday. It failed on three items...

Hydrocarbon emissions
Leaky rear hub
Loose prop shaft (oops - hasn’t noticed that)

I’ve bought new plugs and leads as I think there’s a bit of a mis-fire (new distributor so it’s not that). Also bought some hub gaskets so I’ll try again in a week or two.

Wish me luck!

I never did get round to updating the thread with the 110 post. After a new galvanised chassis:

...we did some bodywork stuff:

And then some painting stuff:

And then I had a Disco 2 transfer box fitted and had a bit of a tweak from Empire tuning. It's running nicely but could really do with 4 new doors, lurking as rotting rust monsters under the grey paint. It will now cruise at 70mph and returns 35mpg. Result.

It’s night and day to drive. It will I think do much more than 70 but there’s no point in trying these days as the downside is too big, and to be honest with the dynamics of a 110 it’s probably pretty stupid. Relaxed cruising is the order of the day, and it does this all day long. Overtakes are now possible on A roads, but with good fuel economy at the same time. It’s not pretty close up but the Stornoway Grey is brown enough to look really smart and it’s a great livestock trailer puller. I can’t see myself selling this until they stop selling diesel so maybe this is my last ever car! I’ve had a few fast cars but this is much more enjoyable to drive as you have to work it... My 4th and last Defender?
