Metal Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) I'm off to Muddy Bottom 4x4 on Sunday in the Bobtail again, for a bit of this !Spent a hell of a lot of time building that site when they had moved from the old one.Got some really good picks of us getting stuck in the 101 in woods at the far end testing how deep a hole we dug Got a RR classic so stuck in one of the marshy parts that we attached it to a mini digger thinking it would be enough of an anchor to get it out but it just pulled the digger towards it lolOnly managed to drive there once in my 2a though, as the clutch release mechanism died recently n iv not fixed it yet My baby.

Skoze Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Looks sweet dude! Kinda weird without the bumper Getting so impatient now, Kev and Jon have found my new road-legal project Landy which the assure me i'll love and will shout wantwantwant at it, but neither are telling me what it is. Bastards. Meets the criteria set by me though, so it's a SWB pre S3 of some sort. Winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, if it wasn't a series 3 i'd have it like a shot...MOAR thinking to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 It is quite interesting for a series 3, I'd imagine one of the last made, Defender style rear lights and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) It is quite interesting for a series 3, I'd imagine one of the last made, Defender style rear lights and so on.Yeah, it's an 83/84 so just before the Stage ones, five bearing engine, big brakes etc...It's still on the cards, but for £100 more i could get this: Going to look at it on the 10th of April, 1961 Series 2, body's dead straight, ragtop, great gearbox, selection of engines, currently on a totally raped chassis but comes with a very good rolling chassis that just needs a little bit of work. I just need to find it a barn/ yard for a month or three...Chassis-up resto for my first 'proper' one? (as in, one that will be loved and road legal, not thrown together and hammered till it snaps)Discuss.EDIT: It does have a set of wheels somewhere Edited March 28, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyrider07 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thats a wepon. Buy it. I own a 90 and my friend has an off road only series 2 and a 101 which is in the process of having the v8 changed for a 300tdi we took out of a disco.Land Rovers are the best, especially the older models. No electrics to go wrong or anything like that. Much better than all the jap crap suzuki things. Not hard to do a re-build, theres nothing to them. It will be the best thing you ever do lol and its fun working on them.Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ghetto engine fitting anyone? We had no engine crane, so we took both the front wheels off, using a high lift (Dodgy as fook), dropped it onto the brake discs, then used a strop, long metal bar and lifted it in!Pics:Wheels off:Engine In:Wheels On:Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Thats a wepon. Buy it.Yeah, i've had a few but none have really been loved - my series 3's chassis ended up in two pieces :$With it' age i think it'll be a doddle, new chassis good, nothing to the wiring loom (headlights, indicators, few dials n' whatnot) then it's just a case of taking everything off and transferring it all over! Would get a new lick of paint in the process, i'm not a fan of the beige!Skoze, rebuild it solely so that you can re-enact It'd be silly not to, reallyAs cool as that is, i think the soft top could put a bit of a downer on the last part, what with the rolling In related news: i found a rather unloved series 1 today, crazy old lady told me it's not for sale and to "get the f**k out of my garden" Edited March 28, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
