Morning all,
Pete here, with a bit of a bitsa project. 90% Series 3 with a smattering of 2a here and there.
Picked it up 4 years ago and didn't do enough research at the time to spot that it really shouldn't have the 2a registration and log book. Realising later that Dad and I had bought something that wasn't what it said on the tin (naive or what?!!?) we abandoned the poor thing under tarpaulins with the front end all apart, half the welding done and no real idea of what we wanted to do.
Now is the time to drag it out again and finish off.
The rear of the chassis has rusted out on top, so we will go for a galvanised one. Change the 2¼ Diesel for a petrol (mpg isn't an issue, noise is!) and ditch the 11 leaf rock hard springs for some parabolic and hopefully we will have what we wanted - a useable useful Landy to trundle around in.
It won't be worked over much, it won't go mad offloading. But it will be useful in a lot of ways and will earn it's keep.
I'm sure to have lots of (daft) questions but I'll make sure to do a search first - I imagine anything I want to know has been done to death already!
Hope to stick around a while a learn, and maybe even learn enough to contribute!
Cheers,
Pete.
