rebuilding any landy is not just a labor of love but an excuse to get outa the dragons hair . not only that once its done you can drive in comfidance its done right ( no gaffer tape or gum ) so go on cause once its done you can say i did that

Eeerm....you need to put this in the Series section not Discovery section!  :roll:
It's all down to personal preference.  However I am rebuilding my 110 cos it has taken me & the kids everywhere for nearly 10years & is part of the family.
When finished it will be better than out of the factory.  :twisted:
