Description
Hallo, this land rover is currently under restoration with a view to completion late 2024 early 2025
expressions of interest are invited and the rebuild can be tailor made to suit the buyer.
At present it has a Perkins Engine 4203 which is a period modification but it can also be supplied with a Land Rover 200 tdi for a small charge.
I am not a motor trader, just an old vehicle enthusiast who likes spending time in his shed hiding from his wife.......
We have spent the last few weeks repairing the chassis- why not a new chassis you ask. well I like to restore where possible- a bit like my house- I would not demolish and build a new house- it wouldn't be right.
the bulkhead has almost been completely rebuilt as it was in very poor condition but our engineer is a very competent welder, So we have footwells, A posts, vent panels that are new. Attached to this are new galvanised sills, B posts and C posts. the floors are being replaced and strengthened to take rear seat belt mountings. But there is much, much more to do.
Please come and have a look.
December 20 --- It is a bit cold at present and the arthritis in my hands has caused a temporary halt in the restoration,
October 21- almost no progress at all as i am waiting for a new thumb joint. December 21- i am still waiting- so is the land rover......
We have Spent Over £8k on the project- ( obviously not a penny for my labour) new doors are on site- we would consider offers for the vehicle as incomplete project.
2024- now waiting for back surgery before i can get a new thumb- so very little progress other than clutch master and slave cylinder. oh, that might be the wrong thing to say nowadays- apologies if you are offended.......
2024- I now need 2 new thumbs and one knee along with back surgery- I will look favourably on any reasonable offer. Oh and the Fekkin squirrels have attacked the wiring so I have another job!
Having a new thumb fitted in MAY 24- so slow progress comes to a halt for 6 weeks........
stop press: new thumb fitted - accidentally broken- more surgery- JUST MY LUCK!
best wishes
Steve
