It looks better than mine, what are you planning to do regarding the restoration. I like 109's they are so much more versatile than shorties but not so good off road. Mines a station wagon. I'm trying to avoid painting it but the old paint is flaking off quite badly on one side so I need to do something. Welcome to LZ by the way, keep posting.

As a first step trying to work out what she had on her originally as keen to have at least one in the family that’s what it should be. It’s also missing some body parts. Some of the paint has peeled off due to stickers being removed which is a shame as paintwork would have been good otherwise. Other half wants to replace the wiring loom as has been changed and currently sports an ecu and megajolt ignition. Think I agree although running ok. Might take it for some light green laning but have a swb series 2 and a modified disco for the more interesting stuff.

Replacing the wiring loom is a good idea if you know what you are doing. When you have a vehicle this old, God knows how many previous owners have added bits to it with wiring all over the place. I resisted going down the electronic ignition route for some time but then started having trouble so I fitted one of those modules that just replace the points, that way, it can be put back to original in a couple of minutes. Have fun with it.

Welcome. A few dings on the body, comes with the age. A late production model. It's got a curious spec. Safari roof but hard top sides with newer windows. Could have had a replacement hard top and roof at some point. I take it that it's not a station wagon? Good luck with the project.

The lwb station wagon is a 5 door with sliding windows in the rear panels.

As in was it originally a station wagon. I doubt it looking at the lack of doors so why the safari top?
Lucky to have a husband and friend capable of doing the wiring. Other half thought the module replacing the points would have been a more sensible option. Experienced the issue of dodgy wiring and wisps of smoke with a previous one so keen not to repeat!
We have some documentation with a valuation in 1992 where it has the safari roof. The windows were added by the last owner. I have found some others on google with the same roof and sides with different windows. I don’t think it’s ever been a station wagon, so is a bit of a mystery spec. Something to try and get to the bottom of.
We don’t think so. Would have been nice.
