Why do I have an old Landrover .....because they have a soul.
Starting them in the morning they can be a little rough ....but once you do get them going they will happily take you where you want to go in style and comfort.
And like any great partnership if you look after her, she will look after you and take you and your family to places that will take your breath away in this great land.
They are great listeners as I talk to mine often and I have become a better listener too ... for whether the windows up or down I'm always alert to new strange sound coming from her .... though my wife may disagree.
And its a myth about them being unreliable - gossip spread by Landrover enthusiast - for how else can we spend time with them ........honey I'm having to working on the Landy today never gets a harsh word from SWMBO
And finally ...... my 5K Landy will go anywhere a 100K Tojo will go and I smile at all the money I didn't need to spend :D
Cheers

It's been complexity stripped down..chassis is nearly all stripped down..just gotta remove the motor..
[was going to leave motor in place but will be easier to paint the chassis with motor removed:D]
If you think fixing an old zook or series is a waste of money,what do you call monthly loan repayments on a new vehicle that will loose 5% of it's value as soon as it leaves the lot and another 40-50% after 2 years?. Pat
It not about the head, there is very little logic in rebuilding and restoring. It's all about the heart. People that get people will understand.
Since we are talking Zooks.
Here is me in the 70,s getting a helping hand:(
