nice a precise :D

yours and 90truckcabs threads on restoring old series land rovers are what made me decide to try and get a series instead of just considering it :)

just go a buy one, worry about finding the money to restore it later

the worst thing you could do is buy one thinking "right have got £500 (or £5000) quid to spend and it'll be finished by July"

they'll cost as much as it takes, and they'll take as long as it takes to finish

Ah fook off :D

Mine will never be finished. In a Ideal world, I would have it on the road for September (London 2 Brighton :cool:) BUT if it is not... Oh well, Will take the Disco instead. Would i like it on the road for my 17th Birthday? Of course i fooking would, but it ain't gonna happen! Would rather do a good job on it. I could have it together and on the road by then but it would be a half arsed job.

I do the jobs as i can afford them, unlike some of us that thinking everyone has endless amounts of money to rebuild Land Rovers :p
 
Done a bit more to it, but no pics till the engine is done (Sitting in the chassis and painted now, Just pump timing to do and front cover paint on)

Trust me mate, i have **** all in the bank :) All in the Series, but as you say better on that than on other **** that you will bin in a few years.

Oh, You remember that timing tool you said was scrap to me? Well it ain't :D They are as hard as fook to find and the best way to do the timing.
