The Bitch Is Dead Long Live The Bitch

[tony]

Good evening all

As some of you may be aware the old rangie expired on the long weekend.

The damage sustained was just too much for the old girl although her heart was as strong as ever her body gave up the ghost.

The search was on for another beast

Behold the cry of a lost beast carried from the salvage yard at Fowler's auction house.

An 88 3.5 efi Highline the mournfully cry drew me in, were a sorry looking sight met my eyes broken windows deflated tires, parts of the dash missing still I saw the promise of the dragon roar of that once proud V8


After several late nights the dragon was still silent there was much scratching of heads around the patio heater

Then behold riding a blue charger (Read Morris minor) the knight Saviour arrives dons the magic overhauls emblazoned with the magic words Land Rover casts his wand and the roar of the dragon deafens all in the shed,,,,,Thanks Scouse

I hear bleach and a scrubbing brush could be effective:o :o


Probably not on the sores but would be good for our amusement

Seriously I was expecting a lot worse than that (from you description)
Looks like it has a lot of potential. What off road bits can be salvaged of the wrecked one?

[discowhite]

colour coded arb front and rear bars, no major dints or scratches. usually an older fella driving it, had cream coloured lambs wool seat covers.
havent seen it for 3 months now!
