Stage 1 V8

Front end is stripped, Richards Chassis (fantastic service, really impressed!) have supplied a new front crossmember but it looks like it may straighten, so a bit of good news! Wing is at a very good body shop for matching/ restoring. New spring ordered, bumper found, radiator being rebuilt. Last pi...

I've ordered a copy as well!

The defender one wont have the starting handle hole - which strangely the stage 1 has!

UK (Herts/ Bucks border).

Happy to pay shipping on one if you can locate one?

Last piece I need... after a n/s exhaust manifold if anyone has one spare?

I'll kill anyone that even marks it once it's finished this time!!

Yup, genuine stage 1! Dunsfold had it in stock, spoke to them at 5pm last night, went there for first thing this morning just in case they had a rush on!!

I didn't ask if any more apologies, but they are really helpful so worth a phone call

Sorted with a NOS one!

The really annoying bit is I give up Disco in the background on Tuesday and was planning on using this everyday

Agreed, so most likely won't go through insurance

For obvious reasons I'm going to be after a bumper. Would prefer a slightly "worn" one!

Let me know if anyone's got one in the way?!

The other driver has admitted full liability and we have several independent witness's so all good there. At the moment I don't want to go through insurance - I deal with them enough in my day job and don't want to risk write off etc. We'll get it on a ramp next week and see how bad the chassis is. ...

Bugger.

It was being brought home yesterday after a few little tweak and a van pulled out in front. At the moment looks like possible chassis twist, won't start etc etc.

Looks great!
