This was in the LROCV mag. Not cheap, but what a co-incidence that its an 85 County too:o
The guy doesnt have a computer or even a digital camera. All the electrics are in this bloody thing..

Hey Deejay - love that Landy. Is the sloping screen a special aerodynamic mod? :p

Hi sclarke - great choice, an excellent vintage :D

Why not....

I started the Donor 3.9 today with the Auto...
All is good... engine had a mild noise, that i dont know if its a loose braket or what?
but either way the sump will come off and i'll check the bearings and cam. If the cam is worn, then no big drama's i'll put a new one that is suited for bush work behind an auto..

I'll start a new thread soon in the tutorial...on what i am doing..
