    New (to me) County

    I found an 3/88 110 awhile ago after hearing of a young bloke having a hard time and (ultimately) throwing his hands in the air saying these bloody Land Rovers are to hard to fix. When I went to first look at it, a few of his Nissan/Tojo mates were there giving him a hard time. I actually think that helped me to haggle a better price for it.

    Did the deal, winched it on my trailer and dragged it home. After some good advise on this forum and a few bits from my "spare" cars, the old girl comes to life. A good clean up and off to the RWC guy. New rear wheel cylinders, rebuilt front calipers, a couple of globes and some rear shock rubbers and it is all good.

    Off to the RTA, bit of paperwork, bit of $$, plates on and away we go. Happy camper.

    Yeah, it is a bent 8/LT85 and I have thought of doing a heart transplant but it is a very straight original car. I do have a very good TDi300 (Fresh rebuild, Turner head, etc.) with an auto sitting on the pallet racking.

    Still thinking

    None of the county's I looked at looked anything like that.

    Well done, looks like a neat and tidy example.

    Cheers Ean
