Thread: Isuzu C240 powered Series 3

If it wasn't for the fact that you'd have to spend time freeing off the brakes, the trailer hire & driveway problems I'd probably consider getting it and parting it out.
Owner claims it's still registered ! Looks like it's been there a while.
It's worse than it looks in the photo.

Now that's not usually case i mean pic's are normally good than real thing. Anyways thanks for putting up the pic Colin.

Found another one on the gumtree. Looks great but my dilemma is i won't be using too many parts out of this..

1971 Land Rover (4X4) Wagon | Cars, Vans & Utes | Gumtree Australia Murrindindi Area - Kinglake West | 1025482248

Problem is you end up with bits left over, can't find the time to part it out, nobody wants to pay a fair price for the parts, the wife complains about the mess on the driveway (or is that just me).
I had a Series I where everyone said "don't scrap the chassis !", I threatened to cut it up for about a year then finally gave it away.

I need some outer front wing panels (or whole front wings) for Gromit. People are asking more for the wings than I would pay for a parts car (but then I wouldn't have the problem of towing it home, parting it out etc.etc.).

Decisions, decisions.......

I managed to pick up a set of panel beating tools from a retired panel beater during the week.
Hammers, dollies, a flipper and a few more items he'd acquired over the years. Some good brands like Sykes Pickavant, Dowidat etc.
A lot of them needed a clean & polish but with the rain in Victoria lately I haven't been able to work outside on Wallit.

These items are of religious significance, to be placed on an alter with a burning candle on either side as the alter boy strikes the gong.

Wearing flowing white robes you shall kneel down and utter the words, " In remembrance of a higher order, the ethic of actual work ".

Good find, but go easy on the red wine.
.

I actually have an 'alter' to go and look at Arthur.....








I've been offered an English Wheel !!

It's fabricated not cast, the owner made one and has hand made two aluminium bodied cars using it. He made a second frame and it just needs a set of wheels made (sounds like a task for our machinist at work).

Do I need one........ probably not.
Do I want one.........what do you think !
Will SWMBO be happy if I buy one......lets not go there.
