The mechanic asked if the ... |

The Td5 starters are notorious for burning out the contacters I would start there. You can buy new contacts and fit them yourself.
I lived in the Middle East (and Far East) there is no such thing ... |

| Thanks for the input. Dash is coming off for sure. I’ll try to rig a way to push the bulkhead forward bracing off the seat box since it is firmly bolted to the chassis. It’s my own fault for not s ... |

| Doors are original. Funny you mentioned a porta power as that’s what I’ve come to the conclusion on is I’ll need to use mine to push the top of the bulkhead forward a bit. For those that have do ... |

| It's the original bulkhead. I have put in an aftermarket "ministry of defender" Puma dash (not for the faint of heart I have to say). |

| The only bolts that tie the bulkhead to the chassis would be the brackets at the footwell and as you say, the slam panel braces. I’m wondering about the steering column however, does anyone know if ... |
