Cheers everybody! I'll start another thread when I pick her up with plenty of photos :D hoping to take her to bures pit as soon as I get her going...

Ahhh okay, sealant it is then! Anything special?

True, I guess :) I was trying to save but I couldn't turn this deal down! I'll be on the hunt for a diff and do some reading up on swapping it... So they don't come with gaskets, just use sealant?

He might think I'm taking the pis a bit! :D

I'll get it trailered I think! Looks like I'm on the hunt for a rear diff then... Cheers for your help guys :D

Ahhh gotcha! Might be arranging a trailer anyway. It's actually a part ex for a 106 gti I've got, could work out a good deal my way... If I can repair it myself which by the sounds of it, I can!

I did wonder if that was doable!the journeys mostly dual carriageway, how slow would be advised?

So could actually work out okay! He said it's mega noisy, it's about 30 miles away. Is it a trailer job?

Ahhhh really?

Was looking at buying a discovery 1 lowing miles with lift etc but the rear diffs just gone! Is this fixable by myself? Or is it a garage job? Just trying to work out if it's still worth me buying as he said he'd only drop £300?

Yeah I guessed that, your other looked a lot more in depth! Maybe I'll do so,etching like that, like you say expensive parts for the important bits and the others could be upgraded in the future, especially as everything shouldn't be rusted to ####! Where did you order your bolts from and how...

Cheers mate! I'm reading through your 90 pickup rebuild at the moment, really makes me want to get mine in pieces...

That all makes a lot of sense. If i do choose to rebuild, at some stage... Do you mind a cheeky pm to pick your brains Aaron? :D

If I'd have kept all the money I've spent on fixing her I could have rebuilt her haha! That's the reason I want to do it, fed up of chucking money repairing, rather just do the job once and for all... Well it's a landy so that'll be next month...

This is what I was worried about haha! I don't have that kind of money. Doesn't stop me dreaming though..

How much of that was the vehicle, Aaron?

Yeah, I new the chassis was gunna be the expensive bit. Worth doing properly though! I can see Aaron's viewing this, I'd LOVE to fit a cummins lump while it's in bit... Beyond my mechanical/fabrication skills though...

Contemplating rebuilding my 110 pickup so just trying to get a rough idea of what it'll cost. Obviously there'll be a massive variation on cost depending on what you've all 'rebuilt' but would still be nice to know :) It'll probably be in the summer as I have no workshop, just a carpark at...

She's off the road again, can't afford to insure her and my van at the same time really. I'd contemplated selling but I just can't bring myself to do it! Ideally I'd rebuild her but haven't got loads of excess wonga at the moment... Or ever, to tell the truth!

Offer declined :D
