Finally home and picked up my first Landy.

Finally I am back home after being away since January and was able to go and pick up the Landy that I bought with out inspecting what so ever...
1974 series 3 with a 300TDI and some defender (ninety?) parts, bonnet, front grill, doors, engine.
This is my first Land rover so it is clearly a project for my spare time. I posted pictures before but I finally got some more and its definitely a project.

so far the only thing that doesn't work are the headlights, bumper lamps and running lights, but as far as I can tell everything else works fine and drives good, apart from being a absolute pig to steer when going slow because of the over size tires.

Doesn’t look too shabby!
Should keep you entertained for a while!

Just give it a wash, it looks better than mine. Electrics aren't very difficult on a series, it's the previous owners bodger that complicate things.

With all those relays and interesting wiring i dont think there is much Series electrics left. At least they used different colored wires though

Looks pretty good for an old truck, keep us informed on progress.

looks good to me too

I don't think there is any series wiring left... Its going to be interesting to learn as I attempt to fix it. But tell then its only getting driven on good clear days.

Installation /wiring looks untidy. Should be good when sorted, have fun and don't try to rush it.
