That was why I started with the rear axle, I thought I'd do eveything else while saving for a new/hunting for a better 2nd hand one. I didnt realise you couldnt legally use a 2nd hand chassis, although I dont really see how using a solid 2nd hand one differs from buying and using a new one. Or...

Ive been talking to someone about a spare 2nd hand chassis they have, if I could afford a new galvanized one that'd be the route I'd take, but at the moment thats out of my league. In relation to the ID issues you mentioned, how would anyone know its not the original chassis? Chassis number is...

As some of you may remember, back in March I asked for advice on a LWB model I'd bought on a whim o_O, having been stood for 18 years I was curious to see what awaited me! After getting it home I've been working on it when time allows, so far its stripped down to the bare chassis from the...

So after a fun day with Bobsticle yesterday, today was time for the recovery truck. It winched on to the truck no problem at all and came off at the other end equally as easily! So its now sat on the driveway waiting for me to make a start. Thank you to everyone who gave advice, getting it back...

Sorry for the lack of good photos, i was trying to make the most of the daylight i had left and only quickly snapped a few.

I'm actually 3/4 of the way through making a log burner at work, another project im yet to finish! I nipped up after work last night, upon further investigation it appears last time it was on the road was Nov 99 (last tax disk). Transmission brake is free, my breaker bar wasnt long enough to...

It's not in the Glossop area, its north Manchester. I dont quite know how to respond to Bobsticle, all of my fears summed up in one :(. Although having a look underneath it, the chassis looks quite sound compared to some others I've seen for sale, or at least im hoping it is. Col, in regards to...

I shall try jacking it up and giving the drums a good thump, i was hoping the wiching may free stuff up a little. I tried pushing it and got nowhere, its also in a bit of an awkward spot. It belonged to the current owners father, as he got older it was no longer used and just parked up, the...

That was my other worry, Ive thought of either buying a winch and attaching it to my solid concrete garage floor, then i can winch it back off, or attaching an anchor point to the garage floor, slings from that to the S3 then as the tow truck creeps forward the land rover stays behind?

Hi all, Im new to the forum and to Land Rover ownership in general. Ive always loved old Land Rovers and have driven past a series 3 daily for the past 6 years, out of the blue last week I decided to knock on and ask if he fancied parting with it, he did and we agreed on a price. Its a 1977 LWB...
