Just thought I might get an Inclination of whats wrong , if anything is. But lets face it the bloody thing has been stood for god knows how many years , at the least its gonna get a timing belt and water pump, but think the best bet is like...

If starting without rad I’d still connect some pipes and fill with water to run it so don’t get too hot

200 not used for a while or idling for a good while can white smoke like a bar steward until the stat has opened ie about 4/5 miles, so do not condemn the engine until you have given it a proper roadtest. Even if the 200 is totally shagged it...

12v going to the stop solenoid on the injection pump, gravity feed some fuel and starter motor to battery is about it. Take the 12v off the stop solenoid to stop it.

Gonna be a longish one only have a couple of hours a day and most weekends. The PO Did have it started briefly for a few seconds as it sits now, but said was very smokey. would like to give it another go to get it on vid, but not sure how wire...

Cup of Tea and a Fag

I'd start with a cup of coffee. Keep us updated.

Nice one, I’m a bit of a list man myself and would start documenting what’s been done , what need doing , what parts you have new and old to be fitted then label all those little seals and gaskets. Then decide whether to keep tdi or di then I...

🤯

Finally got it up to my shed. Now the fun begins, Not sure where to start first.

Galvo chassis about £2k new sounds a bargain

Had another rummage around and got it rolling, to be fair there is more parts then I thought , got to be around 14 to 1500 quid spent already on new parts fitted and still to fit. . also spare body parts that are solid, couple of spare bonnets...

Thanks, no steering at the moment , will need to move the front wheels around by hand to steer it out the building then same again when It gets to my yard.

Thinking of buying another project. At the moment it is rolling chassis, but only the rear axle is fitted, front is nearly finished as in pic just needs front hub assembly's done, At the moment there is no drive flanges for the last bit, it did...

Spend 1/2 an hour on ebay and check what the parts alone are worth. S2 wiper motors good money 200 tdi decent money Galv chassis good money Then think of a number and see what they have to say, remember you can always go up.

Yes definitely but dont want to be paying to much, still not sure what to offer,

Been to have another look to see what's there, Found some of the bits I thought might be missing , Rear axle fully rebuilt with all brand new parts including parabolic springs and shocks , front the same, nearly finished just needs hubs and...

Great build Mate and write up about it. If I decide to go ahead with mine it will be very helpful to look back on. Thanks

This is my build here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/200tdi-s3-88-pas-long-travel-suspension-rebuild.298104/ Having also got another 200Tdi powered Series, I'd also suggest moving the alternator to the other side of the engine. Gwyn...

As it stands, £200-500 really, but nobody is likely to accept that. The chassis and engine are worth money on their own, but obviously require work to get into individual bits. As a rule, parts will often add up to more than an entire vehicle. A...

It would be decent project if the engine was sound and all the bits were there. Really nice bloke that owns it at the moment so dont want to offend him with low offer.

Cracking job you done on that Mate. Yes think there will be a few more parts to source, so need to think how much I want to pay for it. Anyone an Idea of what it's worth as it stands Now ?

Braking system, servo/master/slave/pipes/cylinders/adjusters/handbrake clips cables/peddle box Engine..fuel pipes/filter/lift pump/water trap/sender/rad/cooling pipes/heater Power steering pipes/ oil cooler & pipes. Exhaust/all cooling...

Wings bonnet and windscreen are there , thinking now will need the interior bits like heater and wipers etc, but will se whats what before I decide. It does have a Fairey Overdrive though

Yes was stood outside for a while before it was bought , It has been started though. It is a mate of mine who owns it now, both axles have now been fully rebuilt with all brand new parts even shocks and springs. but the lad he got to do the...

Not to bad , I have done 2 rebuilds a 110, and Series 2a , 110 took me 2 and a half years and series 18 months or so, few hours most days and weekends. they should both be on here somwhere. I can manage the axles and other things , Its...

Thinkng of buying this if I can get it at right price. Series 2 with 200Tdi fitted. this was a project started years ago then left. The engine is fitted to gear box, thats about it. There is no pedals, throttle, brake and clutch. also no...

thus was when he first got it, been a lot of work done since then

Forgot to say We are in Durham struggling to get pics off my phone but will figure it out and post them on here. anyone interested I can whatsapp pics and more info, theirs around 1500 quid's worth of new parts too.
