Jesus!

That'll keep you busy for while!

you'll need this when you collect it!

Top find, fella

The lack of engine, bulkhead, seats, backdoor, interior (what there was anyway!) or gearbox are pretty minor really. At least everything else looks pretty sound!!

Seriously, good work!

ETA. Just looked a the pics again & it seems the left rear panel is straight! That'll save £60 on the Paddocks order

Plan is sto strip it down fix the chassis fit a 2.25 diesel and a series box before building back up without touching the panels or paint. No rush to get it done can take my time to make sure its all done right with out having to bodge it

That was very cruel.


great project. You must keep us updated. How about starting a thread in here?.

Just out of interest, what is the plate worth on its own?

[g3org3y]

£425!?

Is the value of scrap metal so high?

Proper rat look

Nice to see one getting saved. My uncle has a rear body from one of these lying around, can't remember if it's from an 80" or 88" tho. PM me if its of any use to you, don't think he was wanting much for it

[Shayne109]

Very nice find that good luck with the restoration and i look forward to the pictures.

Niice

Does the 2.25 diesel go in the 80? Thought the 2.0 original diesel was too large for the earlier chassis as it was (hence the move from 86-107 to 88-109).

it goes. Mate runs one in his and with an overdrive it flies pulls well over 70mph!

[Hitch78]

You just have to name that Landy Lazarus.

[Beyond Rational]

Would this have to go on a Q plate when it's done?

[Trackpug]

I've taxed worse.

You learn something new everyday

Good luck with that, going to be a large amount of work on that. Planning on my first Landie soon but I'm thinking 109 IIA with a 200Tdi
