New project. Found a Land Rover 120 Isuzu.

**defenderbilby** · 20th November 2005, 08:42 AM

Finally found and brought a Land Rover 120 with the 3.9 Isuzu and 4 spd. box. It will need a lot of work, there is oil everywhere underneath - and some where it should be. A little rust but repairable in passenger footwell and at present no brakes as rear wheel cylinder busted.
Still registered, so will fly up to North Queensland, fix the wheel cylinders and drive it back home. I'll just take the swag up with me.
Really looking forward to this project and will be asking for much advice when its started.

Congratulations David,

Glad you finally found one. How long were you looking? At least nine months by my reckoning.

Cheers

Flying up thursday with spanners and parts. Then drive home. Will post some pictures when I return.
Have been looking for one of these trucks for almost a year.
