i was given this old heap to scrap today

its a petrol though, the mad thing is its quite a straight old thing, doesnt even look horrid underneith from a quick glance, yes i know its covered in green slime, im picking it up tomorrow i think ill throw it in the driveway for a few days to decide what to do with it, i may even trow a sponge over it lol

i however know nothing, what can you guys tell me? all i know if i take it to scrap merchants ill prob only get £70 for it, dont know what they weigh?

just done a hpi its all clear says its a 88" ????????? chassis number is 90105080A

72 is tax free cut off ? - check the chassis, specially the front dumb irons - you might find fist sized holes underneath

it's quite early for a series 3 - didnt start making them untill late 71

dumb irons?

Where are you? If you're near the midlands i'll give you 150 for it now. plus your delivery

looking at the pics every thing seems to be very straight with no big issues with the panels, give it a bath and clean it up , as for underneath the vehicle you need to do a landy limbo and have a good look before deciding what road you are going down, welding or replacing chassis is best done with the body off and that isnt a bigger job as it sounds,

Depends on whether you have the time and the funds........... to work on it for the next 10 years

im in southampton

what ill d is get it moro clean it off and climb underneith for a good look abd report back


i tried to start it but the starter spins but doesnt engage, i did try climb underneith to give it a wack but its right in a awkward position, are they easy to remove? i presume they are these things are so basic

Hmmm mints right...i fear my 150 was far too generous, but i'm a man of my word...let me know asap as i have my eye on another.

No, theyre a bugger to get off, dont even try unless you are near a hospital. best just get rid of it....

hospital pmsl, i have got a two post ramp so can get under it if have to, dont fancy pushing the fookin thing on there tho lol

clean it up and put it on ebay start the bid at 300 you might be very supprised at the response,

No dont do that you might hurt your back...ok 160 and a cup of tea. i hear ebay has gone bancrupt, dont use it.

prob the best way to go thanks guys, might climb under it to see starter bolts but if its as you say might not bother lol, spose i could try bump starting it

i'll give yer 100 quid fer it tomorrow

I'll give you 90 quid tonight for it

Bloody hell disco, you're sposed to offer more not less than me!!! Ok, 2 can play at that...if you give me 50 quid and deliver free i'll take it!

Dont bump start it, theres a twokker device fitted and it alerts some 'men' in freelanders in brighton who come and look up yer bum and do your hair in a 1975 kevin keegan style perm Sell it immediatly to me.
