It’ll clean up nicely. This was in the same state prior to a cut and polish.

Adrian Flux have just pulled some magic out of the bag so at least bringing the camper home feels a little more realistic.... bless them

Probably need a new tank. They are rust traps. But first. Don't trust anything about the restoration. Remove the seat. Remove the lid on the seat box. Take a good look around the tank. Especially when the bash plate cradles the inner tank at...

Another good thing about the Stable matting is that the dimples on the under side mean that air can circulate between the metalwork and rubber, keeping things dry. Easy and cheap to do, hard wearing, good sound proofing. No downside at all.

I would agree with the 8k maybe a bit more depending on condition of other things. Although I am not looking for a V8 so these prices will be lower I paid £2250 18months ago for an ‘89 110 station wagon with no v5 (exported but never left) and...

That would polish up pretty good I should think, good enough anyway. Where would you stop though? Once the bodywork is done, then it's the interior, then the engine etc

When you think I paid £1500 for the same type motor 25years ago. Not many of the v8s left now.

I reckon that would clean up pretty well, looks pretty original. No idea about price, personally they all seem too expensive to me.

if you don’t buy it I’m sure @dag019 after another 110. He also may know prices as he has been looking for a bit

Nope - not yet

Any updates?

That is why I have a low amp fused bypass on mine. Enough to keep things powered, radio, tracker, alarm etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on and the glow plug tray kicks in the fuse will blow! You just need something similar for the alarm...

You will need a lot of photos for people. Engine 300tdi(take a photo of the passenger side of the engine,this will confirm if turbo still fitted) Take a photo of the engine mounts on chassis & engine Unsure what make that chassis is...

Yeah that's mine in the video. Everything else is solid besides that and when id taken it off the rubber had become detached. No idea what's going on but I've ordered a poly set and I've also managed to get a febi set from my local motor place...

Gonna be cold all the time. They all have the turning circle of a super tanker.

Series stat top onto tdi stat housing.

Throttle, defender cable cut down and home made bracket, been on there for the best part of 15 years now.

For some reason this came into my head..... My mate sold a boat & trailer to a lad who came via the ferry as a foot passenger, he told my mate to launch the boat with the trailer ratchet strapped onto it & off he went 🤣 🤣

Look fo a number plate. This can be checked quickly in dvla we site. Vin plate will be around 3”x3”as the bulkhead looks stripped it could be with these parts. They are different to each other Good luck.

Yes you could. May be worth chatting with dvla to see what to do. On the rear bodywork is there a number plate ?

If you have a registration it may help. Otherwise it’s a project worth £1-2k at the most. Can only be sold as spares if no v5 or vin plate

I wouldn’t use the tin foil trays though!

It’s a bitsa… Log book is a series 3 Engine is a TDI Plus side chassis looks like a galv type Will need a lot of work

Okay, nevermind. I actually did find someone who does full RRC harnesses for LHD models, Autospark in the UK. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Those cars ARE money pits so...

I ran britpart poly on my panrod for a while, when they fail you know about it instantly, and being poly they are only about 10 min to swap over so I was not too worried about fitting them. They lasted me a couple of year a set with the mileage I...

A secure bonnet really helps when your battery is under the passenger seat.

Well, after examination, yes ... This is very well built, good solid relay, nice pc board and wiring with quaity connectors etc. I'll give it a go.

What stood out for me here is that Halfords wanted £30 Quid to fit a Series battery ! Two spanners, job done ?

Shush please ignore having a snooze
