OK, SO, after much searching and a budget being done to keep the car under $1000, it turns out that without the donation/very cheap sale of a landy that it was going to be very hard to achieve, in my searches ive heard the Series Landrover likened to rolls royces and harley davidsons (yeah...cuz ive got half a chopped up rolls royce in my back yard and you can find abandoned harley davidsons under trees on 100s of farms across vic... just sayin...)
We have scrapped the idea and have gone with something seemingly more achievable, ive picked up a 1984 SAAB 900 sedan in very good condition for $300 - less than scrap really.
My mrs's daily for the last 5 years has been a 1992 900 coupe and was her dads for years before that, has done almost 400k and never missed a beat so it seemed like a good choice!
Drove it home from St Kilda the other night, started 1st time, drove the whole way home, a bit hot (had nearly no water) and was low on oil but didnt complain once.
Here are some bare photos before any work/decoration/stickers get applied.
Also here is the link to my sponsorship page if anyone would like to chuck in a few bucks (its obviously for a good cause) and there will be plenty of pics/vids to come https://****boxrally2014.everydayhero.com/au/phil
Also - I already have sponsorship from Pickapart but if any one else has a business and would like a sticker on the car please contact me for more details!
