Suggestions?

ICS in the UK have a stock of Worms and Nuts. They will refurb on your box but you could ask if they'd just sell the parts?

Or.... do you just want power steering anyway?

Steve

Considering selling at the moment as I've decided I really want a IIB FC.

Would there be any interest from down under?

Well, it's been a while...
Not much has happened with the 101 in the past 8 months or so. It made a brief appearance in 'Classic Land Rover Magazine' around June/July but otherwise nothing much to report in terms of progress.

I've been somewhat distracted by a split from the wife, which has left me needing a new windscreen for the truck, along with need to spend quite a bit of time sorting out my 110 to make it roadworthy again.
I can say firsthand that what's said about a woman scorned is quite true, although in this instance a lot of accusations without any actual grounding have left me with a bit of a mess to clean up.

As some of you may be aware I have done a little bit of 101'ing in the interim with this rather yellow example getting it sorted out and ready to head down under;



Along with trying to keep myself busy I've also decided that a return to full time employment was probably the best way forward for me, and I started a new job teaching engineering at a College in Cumbria at the begining of January.

Obviously employment means money, so I'm going to be able to put some time and money towards actually getting the 101 done.
I've tracked down a properly shaped roll bar, along with a full set of rear body sides for it, and even have the rest of the bits (sharktooth rail and the pieces that go above the doors) lined up.

At present I'm pondering a Nissan RD28 (I bought one of those too) with the LT95 or a Toyota 1ZU-FE V8 and Autobox to make it go.
Eventually a Disc brake setup and PAS is also on the list, but as it's unregistered I need to be a bit careful with mods whilst building it to prevent it ending up on a Q plate for being to far modified from original spec.

Just to finish, here's a picture of my old GS out in the snow.

Good to hear from you.
Yes. That yellow one has been sighted in the southern latitudes.
