|  1.9 Defender 90 tray back.
Some may have seen my other thread where I'm building a Defender 90 on an Ascender chassis. That is still progressing slowly but pretty much is down to new rear shock towers and body mounts... So I thought I'd share this project as well... Axial chassis rails, a home built cage, some rather nice Vanquish axles and a few other bits. Having a go at a forward mounted motor and trans case.. This is the inspiration: Difflock :: View topic - LandRover 90 Trayback / Winch Truck Project Build So, pics:  20170518_150640 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 20170518_150715 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 20170518_162717 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr

OK, finally a little progress. Well quite a bit TBH  Made the frame....  20170525_154329 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrNot right cut the back off and redo it...  20170526_154726 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 20170526_154719 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrLash it together with tape and a prayer...  20170526_200648 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrSpendy.  20170526_200705 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrPossible reason for slow progress?  20170526_200828 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrT case has arrived, shock towers may well be binned in favour of my own. And the whole thing needs to sit lower- shocks far too firm at the moment. But progress is being made... |

Ok, inner wings to support the front shocks.  20170528_203957 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr 20170528_204137 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrMust sit lower, hence the cuts. Will be boxed over with a power bulge of some description...  20170528_204019 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrQuick easy motor mount.  20170527_113622 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrTranny case. (Better input shaft needed!!)  20170527_113613 by Peter Rathbone, on Flickr

Servo in.  20170529_113856 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrJust a little rub at full lock and compression, I can live with that. Slightly less diameter tyres will fix that in the future....  20170529_113939 by Peter Rathbone, on FlickrThe boom shocks are no more, on account of bieng a bit crap. |
