Thread: Look what I bought today

Spent some more time pulling bits of my 80, I now have down to just the firewall and running gear. I have also have uncovered the number stamped on the chassis, it is 1058 (stamped in big numbers ) then 16160306 (stamped in smaller numbers ). Should this be the same as the one on the firewall, because it is 06108390? The dismantling is trying at times with most bolts very hard to undo even with ample amounts of possum p applied and some left to soak for a couple of days. One of the big bolts that hold the firewall on is not budging at all , I think I'll have to get a longer spanner from work or a longer piece of pipe. Thats all for now, I'm off to have some medicinal beers.

Cheers Jeff

Looks like it's got a 51 chassis and 50 firewall. Will be interesting to see what gearbox number it has.

Ok where do I find the gearbox number?

just to miss out myself

Well did have some good luck today. I was talking to one of the blokes that I work with today and he asked me if I had picked up my series 1, he thensaid that he had some old Landrover parts in his back shed and if I wanted them I could have them. About an hour or so later he walked into my office with this,

I could have kissed him as the one on mine has been butchered and I never thought I would be able to get the right one.
Then this afternoon the bloke across the road came over and told me that he has a trade in sheet metal work and has offered to fix any of the damaged pannels and that he has a mig and tig welder so any welding I need done just bring it over.

Time for a beer

Cheers Jeff

Nice one Jeff

Good old back_in gave me one for my car and wouldn't take anything for it! What a champ!
