Nice motor :thumbs:
Any idea why there is a square hole cut out of the centre of the
front grill? I have seen this done before but just wondered what
the reason behind it is.

Not sure why its been cut, I think the military cut squares in
front of the headlights on some early ones to improve the poor
night vision. I think mine has just been buggered about with by
many a P.O.
Forgot to say, it went through its last compulsory MOT with no
advisories :thumbs:

Awesome work on that amp, very tidy! May have to use that as
inspiration for mine.
I fucking love this truck.

Love your 80 and the photo's from your Europe trip.
Few questions for you. Does the 200 Tdi fit easily into a Series
One and how does the stereo sound with speakers mounted in the
seatboxes? Can you post some photo's of how you mounted the
speakers in the seat boxes.
Regards Warrick.

G'day Warrick, The Tdi fits but only just with not much space
for stuff like the intercooler, to be honest I don't think you
need one, mine has been fantastic just as it is. It has quite a
small bore exhaust pipe and a nice kink in the turbo pipe ::),
but its fast enough for me (given the brakes and handling) and
all that will add to the life of the drivetrain.

For the speakers I had to cut some massive ugly holes in the
seatbox, some people may not like to do this to a 60 year old
motor but mine has seen better days and I use the motor quite
alot and it needs some hip and happening sounds. The speakers
work really well and the sound bounces off the bulkhead and
sounds clear and sharp. I think I have been lucky with the
engine as a few people have commented on how quiet and smooth it
is (for a Tdi), I also have been round the whole motor to try
and get rid of any squeaks and rattles, it all helps with
listerning to the music. I bought a pair of marine speakers just
incase they get a dunking and they seem to be more robust than
normal ones. This is the latest attempt at I.C.E., over the
years I have tried a few connotations with first a cassette deck
(it was a few years ago :haha:) then a CD player but they were
not very good looking clunky and messy, but technology has
caught up and with MP3s and these small amps its the perfect
solution (for me). I have tried to conceal the whole thing as
much as possible and make the whole setup user friendly and
strong enough for Landrovering. Hope this helps.
Steve
