Hey Troy,

mate, your landy is looking Superb! nice ride height & that old luggage bag is a great addition to the vehicle.
thanks for the pics!

Thumbs up.

Cheers Chris.

I love seeing bar treads on the series 1s & with the 750 X 16s it makes your little 80" look like its on steroids, awesome stuff keep it comeing.

Thanks everyone for your nice words. She does look good and I am very happy with her.
Plans for this week are to tidy up the green over spray and get into prep - work on the doors etc (a bit of work here as the door handles have had a hard time)
Hopefully I shall be right to finish off the painting in a few weeks - when it warms up.
I might start looking at the brake master cylinder too as she does nothing

Hi Troy,
You have done a great job. Terrific to see such a wonderful 80". By the way the seats, both front and rear look the part
Regards
Dennis

Gday Dennis,

Good to hear from you - I was going to drop you a line the other day (must get around to it). Those seats are going to be just great

This little Landy is really coming along.

Like you Troy, I like the 7.50x16 on my 80". The higher gearing is better on the highways too.
For the harder stuff, I have a set of 225/70/R16 Goodyear MTRs.

Thanks Mark -and what a little ripper of a Landy
Thanks for the photo.
