Hello Ladies and Gents, here's the family's old Series 1. I'd have to ask my granny to know exactly when we got it... It has seen A LOT of abuse. It was used as primary work horse for building a cabin in the woods, and not really lookd after.
Car has been sitting for at least the last 20 years in the woods. Engine was presumably swapped for a Peugeot 404 diesel unit, but is now seized.
I am not looking at restoring this vehicle to its factory condition and specs, I'd just like it to run and drive well. Body has dents a bit everywhere, so restoring this would be quite costy.
I am new to the Land Rover world, and I wouldn't mind some advice regarding spares or particular difficulties I might face during this restoration project. I believe I could do most of the work on the car myself, as I already hold some skills when it comes to working on vehicles (although I'm more used to small cars, like first generation Polos).
The front of the chassis is quite obviously shot, and I'm waiting for the car to be in a more decent location to have a proper look underneath.
Here are some pictures I took last weekend. Can't wait to get it out of there into a dry storage place!
