Completely missed this thread :(
Here's a combination of mine and the old mans
Burt the '62 IIA 88. Had him since I was 12, can't bear to part with my ol mate. Still not sure what to do with him, maybe restore or maybe fun buggy.

Dads are the 2 two Series IIIs, the one on the left is parts. The one on the right goes; but has a rotten chassis, bulkhead and buggered steering box :(
Has a Macnamara Rear Locker, overdrive and nice 2.25l Diesel that has done numerous ks:p

And lastly my latest, Ernie :)
1957 109 Series I, drove him home from Melbourne. Stopped at a mates on the way home to help him clean up some storm damge
Still has the original 2l that runs like a dream. Will be an easy restore, I think it's been done before the panels are all straight and you can see some of the orignal grey paint on the bonnet.
Many thanks to Sleepy who helped me bring him over :) I don't have any of those pics with the 90 in as well. Could you stick one of them up please Paul :)

Thanks mate
I remembered the Photobucket but couldn't remember the link :p
Any more out there?
This is my wee mongrel (also un-named) - any suggestions welcomed...
1967 Series 2A station wagon, repowered with a T**ota 3 litre B diesel and 5 speed box. She has early 110 doors (lift up door handles), defender grill and centre panel and a fibreglass defender bonnet.
A previous owner has fitted a series 3 dashboard and an aftermarket heater of some sort.
I`m in the process of painting her massey harris red, with limestone roof and wheels, with assorted chequerplate bits and pieces to cover dents and let me walk on the wings and bonnet.
I`ve just fitted some 7.50 michelin XZL`s and she is fantastic off road, as I had the springs attended to last year.
The rear seats were custom made for a mid nineties P38A and are leather, with integral 3 point belts (for teh kids). They cost the guy I got them from $2.5k NZD, and me $300, but it means the children can come in 'dads truck'.
This is my 5th landy so far and the best by miles - it was a wedding aniversary present from my wife :)
I`ve just rebuilt the back door, with a skin of 3mm chequerplate sikaflexed and riveted onto the original (which had torn), and added a 3rd hinge as well.
The bumper is a work in progress being a 7mm thick section of channel :P
I know shes not original, but that was never the intention - she was my work truck for two years (I work as an engineer), and was used for carrying survey and geotech equipment around otago as well as towing the odd 2t excavator.
I think shes earned the garage :)
