Top find Reads!

Why do Land Rovers attract small children so readily :D I have a photo of my 80" on the desktop, with my 2 year old daughter perched on the wing. Unfortunately she is 22 now and the Rover is still in bits :(

Come on over and have a look at the Trans-Tasman site as well,

Cheers Charlie

Well done :D That is not going to be a easy project ,but at least it will save you time stripping it down :p
Good luck with the project:cool:

[Lost Landy]

Looks like it has all the right syuff to make a top little 80" when its finshed, the pannels look to be in very good order & the firewall looks great too.I also noticed that it has what looks like to be the correct motor as it has the "square" sump & not the later style.
Top stuff

Thats only becasue its brand new :):):):)

[iannuls]

Love the pics, especially the "bits in a caged trailer". It makes the S1 86" chassis I rolled into my shed last weekend look almost finished. Seriously though I'm jealous of all your body work, I'm slowly trying to accumulate body panels. Now have bonnet, doors, windscreen and the original bulkhead which shows more daylight than metal.

Good luck :D.

[Landy Smurf]

[Lost Landy]

So........ has there been any progress?

[Landy Smurf]

Well thanks to Numpty's Missus i now have a 1950 S1 80"




Where abouts is NM these days???

Thats a good project, its how i got my series 1, brought it off a bloke who liked stripping things but was not much chop at putting it back together again, also he had a strange fetish of collecting series 1 grills, i think from memory it came with about 10(?) different grills which were promptly dumped onto the numpties
