I drove mine into the shed 15 years ago.
This weekend..........

I feel a bit embarrassed like that.

My ex-RACQ 80" was planned for completion for the Land Rover 60th in Cooma. Well life happened and both a tennant in an investment flat and my house mate stopped paying rent at the same time late 2007 so for the next four months I was paying everything with no funds to complete the remaining tasks like preparing and painting the body. When it didn't get to Cooma, I lost interest BIG TIME.

Last year I had to move off our recently sold family farm, in the relocation some parts are absent without leave.

All is not lost however, this weekend it's onto a trailer and off to Harry at the Ho Hars for painting! How could I have a RACQ road service Landy painted in NSW!

Thanks everyone, burnt off paint and crap and found R06111035, there was a prefix 11439 or 8, any info?
This chassis is older than I also.
Cheers

Well here it is. (if my downloads work that is)
Carting up to Perth shortly to begin the S1 adventure.

Poor thing, it's got a ruddy great big trailer tied to it

Looks good in the piccies.

Will need to gather some bits and pieces that are missing or too damaged.
So far:
I am after two straight front guards.

Its missing the fuel tank. I have a tank out of an 1956 shorty. Does anyone know if this is the same part number tank or can it be used as an alternative?
Thanks
