You can't complete a project like this on your own, so special thanks to the following;
My
friends, Peter Schofield, Matthew Coase, David Berrisford and Robert Booth.
Peter has done lots of work throughout the project at quite considerable effort
on his part - I'm sure he'll get his own back!
Matt kindly lent me his MIG welding gear (for months) and usually has advice
to offer - sometimes positive.
David and Robert are always willing to lend a hand with the "lifting
and shifting" when needed.
My
Mum and Dad for general help and feeding me.
Jon
Hudson of the Dakar
Owners Club for his help and advice along with the
members of the Newsgroup.
Steve
Parker of Steve Parker
Land Rovers for advice and having a store of Land Rover parts 10 minutes
walk away.

useful suppliers I've used;

all things Rover V8.
