Thread: Rebuilding a 109 1958 Ute

Hi All
Early in 2007 I acquired a collection of several tonnes of Land Rover bits.
Consisting of a 109, 88, chassis and enough panels etc, to build a car or two.
I picked up 1/2 a shed full, then took took 5 weeks off to go to Philippines.

When I returned Wayne Ellard and my self spent 2 days filling up 2 Car Trailers
and our cars with the rest.
This my first attempt to post photo's so I hope it works.

The photo's are of some of the gear Wayne and I picked up in March 07.












I started to sort out a little of it before things ground to a halt because I went over seas for 3 months, in May 07
Things have not moved far since then as I have been to Cooma, Vietnam, Bali, and 2 weeks fishing on the west coast of S.A. so far this year.
In saying that I have rebuilt the Engine and Gear Box from a donor car and a Firewall.
Some of the bits I have found are, 2 complete PTO units, Governor, PTO head and pulley, 80 " firewall etc. All have been recond to new condition.
I still have more than 15 20 ltr drums still full of gear to go through.
Pictures to follow.
Cheers
Ian

Hi there

I can assure you the gear is in great condition.

The gear was scattered - and majority of it was stored in a field bin, were it took 2 days of busting a-s to get it all out.

Since picking all this gear up - Ian has rebuilt the 109 engine & gear box and is back in the rolling chassis with bulk head fitted, going to be a nice rig when its finished.

With the little fella mastering posting pictures I assure there will me namy more pictures to follow of the rebuild.

Well all the best

Wayne
