Would anyone be able to help me with the paint colour of this Landy? It's exactly what I'm after but colours are not my strong point

I won't be building a high boost engine, probably keep it stock turbo so it will be at the limit of the r380 but people run them way past that without issues (this won't be going off-road)

R380 is the plan, no build thread yet I'm just collecting parts at the moment

Thank you for confirming, I'm installing an om606 so think an lt77 might struggle

That makes sense, I thought there was a transition period at the end of the 200tdi where they started to fit the stumpy, thanks for the info

I'm looking to buy an r380 stumpy but struggling to find what vehicle it came from? My research just brings up (the stumpy was made to replace the lt77) The 200tdi has an lt77 and the 300tdi has a regular r380? Any help appreciated

Thank you for the very indepth knowledge! I actually live 1 mile from marshlands and plan to use one of these chassis, I have a 1985 12j with less than 10k miles (with MOT to prove) it sounds like I might be best going for a 200tdi instead. I completely agree with what you say about the...

But it states that the vehicle was used to ferry friends and family, does that mean it never left the chateau? How can you ferry people without an MOT? condition definitely means more than milage and I'm unsure the tdci vehicles will be worth as much as the older ones in 10 years if it's an...

I would be a little skeptical of the milage as there is only 1 MOT

Yes I will send you a PM, it's a 2.5

I have an engine that's only done 9600 miles, works great but I'm stripping the car

Thanks phill, I have found the below brackets to fit an om606 without any chassis modifications if I do go down this route, As for changing the body, the vehicle I'm interested in is a 1985 van and the log book just states it's a 110 4c reg d which I believe is "4 cylinder regular diesel" and...

Nice to know, I am an engineer and do like to play around with the Tig welder so I'm sure I could make some brackets to suite.

That's for the input dag019 I don't think I made myself to clear, I'm not looking to change the chassis for one that's different to the purchased v5, I'm looking to buy a vehicle and buy a galvanized chassis that matches that vehicle (i.e buying a 2.5 NA Landy and fitting the same chassis but a...

Oh I haven't heard of this point based system, when I declared my series 3 as classic there were no checks.
