I have bought a station wagon

Watching this with interest, because the "kit form 110" I recently picked up is a 7 seater station wagon with a sailsbury rear axle and the load leveller for the rear A arm. And it was in a million pieces so I have it all to do, and to make it worse, no fasteners or anything marked up and I've never worked on a 110 before.
Looking at the shot of your v5c its the same model and type as yours albeit a '89, so that will make it easier to get it registered as a genuine 7 seater during the import process later on.
I've done a sort of mini dry build to see if there's anything major missing and been watching and getting the odd part I know it'll need but don't plan to start the assembly or repair proper for a while as I have two other projects in the queue ahead of it and life will get in the way and derail timely progress on them as usual.
But if you can take lots of pictures, that would be appreciated!

I plan on removing the load leveler (boge unit I believe) I do not have one on my hardtop and am happy with the setup of that so am just going to replicate it. It needs new suspension anyway so will just fit the appropriate rated springs. I am not sure how easy the self leveling units are to rebuild but I believe not very!

There will be lots of pictures and I will keep this thread updated but it will be a slow process. And once I have swapped the station wagon body onto my hardtop (red one int he picture) it will then be an even slower process to rebuild this vehicle in its entirety.

If it helps at all with yours about 12months ago I finish rebuilding the hardtop after a fire and there are lots of pictures and description in the rebuild thread: LINK. But it was not standard and has a later 200tdi engine and later 300tdi wiring looms throughout which I plan on replicating on the station wagon so the build on that will not be completely standard either. But by making both vehicles the same other than the rear body it makes spares and working on them easier for me as they are both identical.

Thanks, I went through that thread, insurance companies are ****** and good to see you didn't let them weasel out and crush your car... I used to work in a shop that did insurance work 25 years ago, and my opinion of them hasn't got any better with time.

This 110 was devoid of engine/transmission but as per other threads, a LT77, and a 200tdi have been procured in the past fortnight, which gives almost a mirror of the setup that I'm doing on my old faithful '89 90 so I have a common drivetrain platform between the 2 also apart from the differences because one is a 90 and the other a 110.
I'll ask the previous owner about the spring rates to see if he planned doing similar and eliminating the load leveller setup, because he mentioned putting a spring & damper kit on it years ago when he first got it as a unfinished project and had plans to get it on the road alongside his other 110.

May be a little premature as it needs a lot of rebuilding first but couldn’t turn these tree slider steps down when they came up for sale (thank you @bluehaze). Although they will certainly need to come off again fitting them is the easiest way to store them so they are not cluttering up the garage.
