Hi, new to the forum

Had a trooper for about 2 years. Love it to bits.

Failed the MOT badly......

Decided to take it off the road and restore it.

I've stripped the intercooler, turbo, air intake exhaust etc so far. Built my own steel front bumper (hit a deer and it took the front end out)

Just going to clean it all up and make it look shiny, give it a good clean up and service.

Ordered new brake pads and discs all round. Handbrake cables, suspension 2"lift.

Going to make a straight pipe exhaust for it.

Got unholy amounts of welding to do but being a welder think I'll be ok 😂.

Just brought a set of trooper LS alloys off the facelift 3.0 version, i think.. .... The really pretty ones...

Didn't even occur to me, are the stud patterns the same on the 3.0 as the 3.1? Bloody hope so

Got loads of pics if i can figure out how to upload them.

Looking for loads of advice and input. Im pretty savvy with welding and cars but theres loads to learn. Hoping this is a buzzing forum.

Thanks

William
