Haha, cheers that's much of what I thought -only being a daft arse I tend towards the madness of fixing as much as I can myself & trying to convince myself it's fun :confused:

Haha, fair play, how about a more simple question then - if they were all of equal condition is a tdci much better than a td5 or 300tdi to use and maintain or are they all much the same?

Hi folks, Well I'm the landy owning friend & I can report that it looks an honest stock work truck with no major issues as far as I can tell (it was in a locked yard when I saw it so no chance to test it on the road). It's been used, so as you'd expect it's got a few scratches and some dings...

Signed here too

Sorry meant to get back to you yesterday but caught up with doing family stuff for easter & another guy from Gumtree coming go view it... He liked what he saw enough that she settled on £550 in the end. Sorry to keep you hanging til tonight before getting back to you + hope you find something...

pay more than the guy thats actually seen it and you can do what you like with it...

Haha - gotta love people coming away with stuff like that without even seeing the car in the flesh

Cool thats not too far then, I'll do some sums when my brains a bit less fuzzy and let you know how much I'd need to deliver it

Cheers, where are you based though coz I would maybe consider delivery if the price covered my costs...

Right folks, thats me just been speaking to her there & shes just about had it with no shows or folks just wanting the car for the engine or gearbox n only looking to pay a couple of hundred quid... Shes made the decision that unless someone comes up with a better offer than the £500 shes...

Cant argue with that, if I was looking to keep it myself long term that'd be my prefered option too (its why I'm saving for a galv chassis for the defender) but while its pretty rusty in places its still solid enough to patch up for a fair while imo

Heres those pics - sorry about the quality but like I said its hard to get studio quality when your squashed under a disco in the snow! Rusted section of chassis http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o644/kvnknnr/20130327_174101_zps7a480847.jpg Surface rust on muddy chassis...

Thats me just been rolling about underneath it in the snow & as far as I can see its the drivers side "outrigger" thats rusty (the bit under the door that one of the suspension rods attaches to - check my limited knowledge shining through) - its still solid enough but the pointy end of the...

Its on a friends bit of land just outside Dundee - taking up one of their parking spaces & gradually p#ssing them off... :D

Its still pretty far off that stage yet tho imo - if its left for much longer without any work it will be, but at the moment its still a fairly solid project for someone with a welder & enough space to patch it up

I'll head up and get some pics taken for you tomorrow if thats alright? + Yeah the bodys pretty solid with just a little rust at the edge of the boot floor & round the arches. As for how to take it away its not got tax or mot so prob should be trailored but its drivable so if you wanted to...

Nice try man but my maths isnt that bad - depending on where you are it'd be nearer £600 - £650 delivered...

Come on folks - she's got a definite offer of £500 but the disco's worth more than that as parts if nought else! Engine and gearboxes are great, tight with no slop or issues & the disco itself is just needing front discs + a bit of welding near the rear seatbelt mounts and front outriggers...

Haha - nah all I'd really want is my 300tdi tbh (well and a 101 f/c, a lightweight, a 110 pickup kitted out for offroading & maybe either a twisted or a kahn 90 for posing in...) + Yeah curves! Theres not many but at least the top of the windscreen, the front of the wings and the steering wheel...

I still really dont like that concept but I've been looking at it more and imo if they sort the windows (bring them down to the level of the door handles), sort the front end (by giving it a bumper by moving the grill and lights back a bit, give it more of a defined curve to the end of the...
