I like that a lot , "Farmers Wing" hahahahahaha ..... my 109's got a bit of that going on , that's almost as good as (can't remember who said it) "after market handbrakes" - when they were describing the bricks under the wheels of Chumlee. I'm going to tell the Mrs, she's in bed with the Flu , that'll cheer her up, that's class (I know small minds etc......)
cheers,

Farmer's wings! Bang on, the brake drums are sitting in the tray. There is no rust though, so very happy. Came with a .303 cartridge, rifle cradle and a 1972 one cent piece.

I had a .22 live round behind the dash, a cold chisel, marker pen and a couple of coins in mine. Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses. I am in the process of pulling apart my 75 Diesel. It looks a good find.

Initial intention is to do a RWC rebuild. I like the dents and dusty paintwork. But will need full brake rebuild, clutch pedal and cylinder, speedo cable, both doors need fettling and that's about it, except for new seat cushions and ummm belts - other than that just a few simple things to sort out.

I will also need a battery, and I don't quite know the condition of the engine, gearbox, diffs or T-case yet.

Still, pretty confident it wont need much.

Oh, and the guards (I have a couple of those), and the headlights.

And the window channels and gearstick, t-case and handbrake boots.

and probably a couple new tyres.

and a name.

[Dark61]

I'm entirely with you with regards the bumps and dents, mine are staying. The name is important. No pressure! I'm pulling mine apart ahead of a
'is it worth going for a RWC". I will have to teach myself welding for a start as the L/H door pillar has had it at the bottom and the gears are as stiff as Ghandi's flip flop, wiring ?! oh dear - well you get the picture.
cheers,
