Hello again everyone,
Well so far I have stripped the defender down to a rolling chassis, and got rid of the V8 and g'box, everything is now rustproofed and undersealed, all the panels are undersealed and stone chipped.
I have started re-assembling the back end with re-sprayed panels and new set of standard lights.
My questions really relate to the gearbox. I want to put a 200tdi in as they are plentiful and quite cheap, however can I use a R380 gearbox, is it just a case of bolt the gearbox to the transfer box and then bolt the whole lot to the engine?
I thought about the R380 as I've been told it is smoother than the Lt77, please correct me if I'm wrong here :P
Next question is sound deadening, I really want to make the defender a quiet place to be if possible, can anyone recomend a type of sound proofing, I'm not really looking to spend massive amounts on this around £100-£150.
Well that's all I can think of at the moment!
Thanks for reading
Andi
