What new parts have you fitted to yours?

Hi,

I was talking the other day with someone about selling my 109 and they wanted to know more about the new parts I had fitted during the refurb.
I started to rattle off a few things and the list never seemed to stop!! I wondered how long a list others would get to in getting their project up and running?

My list;

Chassis and body

New shocks and bushes
New dumb irons
New axle straps and bump stops
New U bolts
New steering rods and track rods ends
New drums and shoes all round with new cylinders

The thing is landy's are not like cars, cars do the same thing really no matter how many owner's its had where as landy's do a multitude of things throughout its life time either with just one owner or lots of past owner's so they always need going through, i paid just under 3K for mine but if i had of paid 8K for it i would still be doing all this but my son and i really enjoy doing it as at the end we know it will be right
