I like the roof rack on the green one. Is the red a 1-ton pickup? I wonder if they are both custom body's on the rear from parts at the salvage yard.

After searching its 2.5mm, and most use 3mm plate. Thanks John, I think replacement chassis is the way to go in a few years. Its in SE Asia, but I plan to ship it to the U.S. next year in a 20ft shipping container, thats part of the reason I have been cleaning under there, to get rid of the...

What do you recommend for the fix? I was looking at it again, looks like the whole bottom strip needs to be replaced in the low sections on both sides (from gearbox mount to aft/rear), there is a couple other spots I never noticed too. All from the inside, the outside of the steel is smooth...

Been under with a angle grinder wire wheel, priming and painting only the steel, last 3 days. Notice the frame is rusting from the inside in a couple locations. Is there supposed to be drain holes at the low points? LWB I can't believe the amount of dirt under their even after a couple good...

Got the new one today. Looks like the right one.

I thought the chassis was almost the same in all series. I went with 517632 instead, I found some websites says S2 LWB Station Wagon up to Suffix C, while the other one (517469) says military and Series 3 up to C - 109". I ended up ordering mild steel as I ran out of free time this year. Seems...

I am trying to order a stainless exhaust system. My landy is a 2a 109" Station Wagon (rear fuel tank) with Suffix C chassis 2.25L petrol. I think that makes it 1966. Will part 517469 work? Some website say LWB ExMOD 2a others say SIII only. There is also part 517632, but not included in the...

I pulled off a big clip weight with just my fingers and not much effort. Looks like the tab on the clip was sticking out a ways too. Can I just get a heavy slug hammer and pound it in flush then? sigh

I was just going to mention that. hah Went to a different shop to get the wheels balanced. Glad I did as some of my rims now have some huge weights on them. The big weight in the 2nd picture I can wiggle around, speaking of welding, I am thinking about trying to glue those big ones down with 2...

ok guess I will throw them in the pickup tomorrow, and get them balanced with the tyres on at some other shop. I was curious if the rims are balanced separately, because my rims had weights on the inner and outer side of the rim. The weight on the inside looked like they were glued on. Thanks

Just got my rims back from paint shop and some new rubber put on. The old weights on the inside of the rims disappeared I noticed. Anyway the tire shop next door did not do any balancing, then when confronted the worker guy acted confused, and wants me to come back another time with my land...

I found a picture of one in a advertisement. Thanks John I usually just beat my chest, and jump around flexing my biceps to get the wife to see things my way. lol j/k

They are a bugger to clean up. That rear one was the worst, very pitted under the rubber. My wagon is up on floor jacks outside the kitchen. Waiting for new tires and blasted rims. Tyres are a little hard to find esp. for original narrow 5" rims.

I wanted a radio in mine as well without drilling holes or making brackets. I made a plywood box, glued a towel to it, cut a hole for a automotive radio with bluetooth in the top, cut 2 more holes in the side and put a couple speakers in it. You really only need battery positive and chasis...

I have the grinder out today. I am wondering if this looks like factory rear step or previous owner addition. I am having a hard time finding a picture on the Internet of a restored 109 with rear step. I want to slap on a cutting wheel, and get rid of it if its not original. 1966-67 109"...

ok thanks

The dinitrol reviews seem very positive for that stuff. I don't have access to it though. I do also have a couple cans of thick coating agent (non rubberized) spray. I believe its call threebond. Stuff seems to stick really good. Has some texture to it as well. Probably not going to use red...

Do you guys paint the wheel wells? I have have all the tires off (ordering new ones), all the way down to the axle and have been wire wheeling and red oxide / spray painting the parts- hubs,drums,back plate etc. Looking at the inside wheel well I figure its a good time to get the flakey stuff...

Here is that horn again. cheers

Just found the horn searching "bosch vintage horns". Mine is parts I think. Looks like its a VW horn. Looks like it can make quite the racket (youtube). I located the carb elbow part numbers except for the one on the bottom, that one looks almost like Jeep Willys carb elbow (again according to...
