I'm thinking of going. Is it just a turn up and pay jobbie? Is there plenty of trails there for complete novices?

Thanks for this Rhino. It's a job on my list to do in the next couple of months so appreciate the heads up on the potential pit falls. Cheers, CJ

Thanks everyone for your input. Gulf colours?? Must be one of a kind. I'll probably do the safe, boring thing and go with Limestone :)

Whilst my hardtop is off for the summer I'm going to re-spray it so it doesn't look quite so tatty. My father in law. Lifelong collector of classic MGs thinks I should spray the hard top silver and respray the wheels from black to silver to match. The purist in me thinks I should return both to...

Thanks. Thought it might be a ball ache...

Good catch on insurance... thx

Can a 109 pick up be turned into a double cab / station wagon with rear doors? Apologies if this is a stupid question. Just wondering if bulkhead layout etc will allow for rear doors. Part 2 of my question... is it worth the bother or should I sell the pick up and buy a LWB with rear doors.

... put 2x 3 man bench seats in the back of my truck cab and carry people around in it? Lap belts will be provided for some semblance of security...

Thanks everyone. Will take some before and after pics. I'm not sure which will look better. As for pulling... think my pulling days are over. Still you never know - a gold digger might mistake me for landed gentry. Thinking that I look shabby chic or something...

I'm thinking of taking the cab roof off my S3 pick-up truck to soak up some rays - what are the watch-outs? Will everything else stay in place or do I need to remove any other bits? Thanks for your thoughts.

you're a star. Thanks for this.:)

There doesn't appear to be a Haynes manual specifically for either a LWB or 6 cyl. Have they produced a supplement to the ubiquitous 4cyl 88 manual? Ta

Thanks - I'm not sure everyone on here agrees. Important thing is I'm happy...

I think I bought the vehicle you're referring to!! Having read this thread after picking it up I've only just summoned the courage to own up!!! In my defence it does look and sound great, has had chassis sorted out and runs well. Not sure how thirsty it is yet though... Any watch outs to be...

It looks great and I can empathise with you having just bought a 109 6cyl pick-up against my better judgement and without telling mrs CJ - i fell a little in love with the fine burble from the brand new exhaust. So nice after what feels like a lifetime of driving supposed refined diesel engines...

will an ifor williams defender lwb pick-up canopy fit my 109 pick-up?

Is there any visual check to tell whether a 6cyl engine has had valve seals upgraded to take unleaded. If not is there a recommended supplement for regular unleaded to prevent excessive wear?

Difficult to really tell if a Series Landy is genuine as so many parts get swapped out and changed over the years. Most obviously, when you lift the bonnet, the drip rail along the bulkhead on the very early 3's was two short separate sections under each bonnet hinge, rather than a continuous...

How did you get on? I'm thinking of turning my 109 truck cab into a double cab. Am I crazy?

Sean - thanks for posting these pics. Very inspiring. Any tips on managing her indoors. Mine is about to become a Land Rover widow as I start work on my first LR acquisition since I got married 10 years ago! :)
