Good luck with it, nice to know another old landy will live again. Often they aren't as bad as they first appear. Mine on the other hand, turned out to be much worse than it appeared.

The 90 was in a worse state lol.
Im off on holiday so will have to wait till i get back to really know how bad it is.
Missing front panel which is a pain.
But most of it is there.
Lh front wing is scrap really maybe save top.
Engine i think is full of water

Sounds like you are going to have fun. You did a nice job on the 90

I managed to de-cease my 2.25 petrol that had stood outside for 6 years with lots and lots of wd40 down the bores, and rocking it back and forth, back and forth for a good 1 1/2 hours, each time getting a bit more movement. Itll smoke like a pig when I eventually start it up!!
Got motor out it had around 6lts of water in it as well as oil.
Think im going to have to beat out pistons

I wonder if that holed cylinder is the reason the landy was abandoned in the first place. I've never seen damage like that before. I wonder where the missing chunk is.

At least it makes the decision about fixing or replacing the engine a bit easier.
