Oh what have i done?

[Kizzeh]

looks like i got a bit carried away on ebay. Seems i will be looking in here a bit more often too....

1985 3.5 petrol. I dont know nothing about RRC and my ears are still hurting from the bollocking from the missus but i couldnt resist

You'd have to be mad to buy a classic without seeing it - they rust like Alfasuds in a salt bath. Good luck.

Thanks. I take delivery of it tuesday...i shall post some piccies. I just have to spend the next day looking online to see what things i need to look to fix/replace

Don't spend a penny on it until you have poked every inch of it looking for rot.

Dont acctually have the car yet to take photo's. Thats just one off the advert. The advert is Here

Not much rot about. Poked and prodded as much as i could but dark now to take pictures. There is a bit on rear inner arches so i suppose i will have to get the welder out. There has been quite a few good quality patches. The last owner works at landrover and the owner before owned a bodyshop so seems mechanically sound with little rot. Few battle scars and crusty bits here and there but its a 30 year old car so its to be expected.

Excellent news - you dodged a bullet there!
