haha I may have some modulars going spare if you need some, does look good though apart from the alloys!


Anyway on a different not have you even gotten round to fitting the new box into the disco or is it running on its last legs

May take you up on those, will let you know. Yeah it's not too bad, chassis seems solid bulkheads pretty gone though.

New box in my disco?

Do you have all the missing parts then or is this going to be a slow build ?

Well not much of an update but....finally managed to find the chassis number and turns out it's actually an early 1959 series 2, so MOT and Tax exempt just got to get it registered in my name now.

Won't be starting any work on it for another month or so as moving house, but have a nice workshop waiting for me when I manage to get the Landy over there so will be a nice rebuild thread going soon...

Thought its about time to update this, after moving house it sat in a barn for a month

Then it made its way into the workshop, where it sat for another 2 months haha

Then finally Thursday night I managed to find some free time to start stripping her down! Couple of holes in the chassis but nothing major! But bulkhead is pretty damn rusty, will grab some pics when I get it removed.

Engine will be coming out this weekend as well.

And on the plus side, it turns out my new workshop used to be a calving shed and is insulated so with all the doors shut and a heater on in there it's nice and warm
