I have a lot of stuff for sale. I'm starting a Land Rover /VW shop. So yeah, I have my D2 up for sale. I'm going to start removing parts on it and lowering the price. I haven't done anything major to the D2 in a year. I'm kind of bored with it.

Updates coming soon.

A few pictures.

Had to cut out the stock engine mounts. I'm having new ones cnc cut on a waterjet, along with all the transmission adapters.

And a engine bay test fit.

Latest set of adapters and engine mounts. Hope to try these out tomorrow

Okay started on the engine mounts

 

[getlost4x4]

Welded up the mounts with my crappy harbor freight MIG welder using C02 shielding gas. Came out nicely I think.

Engine, starter ring, flex plate adapter all fit perfectly together. Mercedes and Land Rover living in perfect harmony.

Alright progress has been made today. Figured out I could delete one of the pieces. So my tolerance is now .003" which should be really good. Considering all the parts are made out of flat sheet metal, that is pretty damn cool. Sorry engineer nerd talk there.

I have also installed some taller tires and a small lift kit.

Adapter fit up

Engine Mounts welded in

Some Exterior and of the lift

Everything fits together good. Just need to make a spacer for the starter. She's going in the hole tonight.

everything is in, everything fits. just need to make a spacer for the starter, and it should hopefully fire up.

Sorting out fluid conveyance through the vehicle. I started with what i thought would be the hardest to fix. The power steering. But I was wrong, because the hoses hooked right up to the mercedes power steering pump. So, now i have the oil cooler piping, Air Conditioning, Heater Core, Radiator, fuel lines, and that is it. Then some wiring and it should run. this is going to be a lot easier than I originally thought.

Seems to be coming together nicely, and it looks good.

Well, now you've done it. You're screwed for sure!

 

[getlost4x4]

Got some more done tonight. Alternator is in. Radiator. Coolant reservoir. Battery. Air filter and air filter box.

Also trying to figure out if I can mount an intercooler and where I can stick one. Clearance is getting tight.

Lots of awesome going on in there. Is that engine originally intercooled, or would that be a home-brew add on? Also, what are you using for a fan?
