    Yay, yay and MORE Yay!!!!!!!!

    I am SOOOO happy!

    started to strip the 110 (Which is a complete drivetrain donor vehicle at work at the moment) on Friday and today I took a squiz at the engine compartment, the bulkhead and chassis etc up close as it is sitting on its chassis on stands at the present.

    NO RUST. even in the doors. The paint is faded badly, there are a few minor dents and there is lichen growing on the roof, but due to living in a dry climate it is in good fettle.


    For A 1985 it is remarkable.

    I am a happy vegemite as this will make a great platform for the new tourer

    Pics soon!

    You lucky duck.


    I am itching to do another restore, just have to find a good excuse. Our TD5 Defender has under 70k kms on the clock so reasons are limited.


    Keep us posted with heaps of pics.

    Yes, can't wait to fit all the Rangies running gear, get it painted up and re-striped, fit the Galv ARB bar, A/C, winch, Stratos seat, tropical roof, Dual batts, traxide wiring, HF and UHF radios, spare wheel carrier, LR tank and the white Wolf rims with 255/85's....and start driving it!!!

    BUT.....

    Have to slow down a bit on the excitement front, part of the deal is that I have to finish the LSE Tdi and get it sold before I'm allowed to take on the next project...

    Still, one can still think about it and plan, right???

    Yes, pics soon.

    I'm overjoyed at finding no rust in either front or rear crossmembers. Parts of The front chassis ends after I took off the bar are even still shiny chassis black if you rub the dirt off with a wet finger/ cloth

    The $$ spent on this resto are well spent, about a 5th of purchasing a new vehicle and it'll see me out. I want to be buried in it when I go

    All you'd see is a bearded stick figure standing next to a box, with round bits under it.




    Hows yours coming along?
