Well Done a deal on Kermit as Swisstoe aptly named him, or That Fu!!king Green Thing as my missus calls it. Not sure what name to pick :)
Anyway I'm no expert but tried to check all things I was told to. It needs a bit of welding on one of the arches in back and there is a small hole in chassis, but that's about it. boot floor solid. Until I get it home of course and find loads more which is usually the case with me.
The Lad has spent a lot of money on this, brand new tarrafirms suspension lift kit loads of other toys which are not my thing really but suppose I could take some of them off, nearly new tyres ect.
Needs an indicator lens and hand brake cable connected. Getting it on Tuesday so will have a good look around it and see what's what. will send pics, and if anything's broke will be asking how to fix :D

I had Kermit in my watch list welcome to the 3 door club :D
If you don't want the bush cables or the rock sliders & if there's anything else you don't want let me know
as I might have them off you, I have a spare parts disco & another unfinished project on the way here soon
if your needing anything give me a shout. ;)

Not the fact I don't want them its the fact I don't need them, not really in to that stuff. I will see what's what Mate when it comes and give you a shout. You might even find that 300Tdi alt yet.

Oh aye the mystery of the missing alty lol
 
Good luck with the new motor border. I’m glad you got advised well - something I should’ve done before overspending on a complete Rot box :rolleyes:
 
First few pics of Kermit, first good look in the day light. first impressions look good to me although Im no expert on these things.
Faults so far, very small oil leak not sure where exactly from yet though.
Needs Indicator and corner piece of front grill, drivers side.
Indicators don't work, hopefully its just a Fuse.
No handbrake he left it off when he put new prop shaft on, but got drum with new cable in boot to fit.
There is a smallish hole in corner of floor in back and a small hole in chassis.
Thts about it until I go over it properly.

Forgot to get pics of inside, will get some tomorrow.

Yes she is thought Id combine a short training session and take pics at same time.

Awesome dogs. You have some welding to do I’m afraid :(

left hand side of pic you can see a Trapeze shape that’s eaten out at bottom (common spot). I’d bet you the top of chassis under there is also crispy as it’s a water trap.

you’ve got a fairly big section to repair there. Mine was dead in same place.

Il have a good poke about tomorrow
 
First job at weekend change all oil and filters, will do Diffs as well . hopefully can get an Indicator by then. Then sort handbrake as and when I get time.
Another pic, not sure if I need these or not, don't even know what they do :confused: but Suppose they look good, definitely don't need the CB.
