New addition to the Family!

[chris1983rangie]

G'day,

As my 55 86" nears completion i just couldnt help myself to buy another one.
I got a 1950 80" model headlights behind grille. Its history, the Landy spent most of its life on a Farm in Beeac, Vic. Near Colac.
it was sold of to a fella in Deans Marsh 5 years ago
but never got around to restoring it. Now its in my hands i am the 3rd owner this will be my next project. Also have complete doors tops and bottoms + hood canopy bows.
Spare rear diff and glass piece for the broken headlamp. The chassis is in very good condition at least i dont have to make any repairs like i had to do on my 86" which took allot of time.
the Vehicles details.
Body & Chassi No. R06102728
Eng No. 06102967
Gbox No. 06102971

Enjoy the Pics.;) i love the Fordson Major, it ran on Kerosine!
you don't see many these days running on Kero.

Chris.

Thanks for the replies.

Diana, what sort of blocks are they? wooden? metal, rubber? i havent got a clue!
these block thingys, what are they for?

thanks Chris.:)

You have found a gem Chris. Should be a straightforward rebuild.

There are quite a few early Land Rovers down in South-West Victoria. There must have been a agency down there somewhere .

I'm only getting half of the pics, the net is slow tonight.

[chris1983rangie]

hey Easo,

i can email them to you same size if you want, i can compress them more so you are able to download them.

cheers,

Chris

[Mick-Kelly]

She is an absolute beauty and so complete. That is a very good score and should be an absolute pleasure to rebuild.

[chris1983rangie]

Diana, is this the block on the spare wheel carrier you were referring to?

regards,

Chris
