this picture is from around 2003-4 ,i built this one from a number of old ones ,the chassis was from the 80,s the engine was from a 1985 90
panels from various ages ,but a number plate from the oldest and tax exempt
its now lurking behind a shed with a dead engine and a slightly rotten chassis ,one day it will return

Re: land rover
Dont start me on the landies, suppose i better list 'em!! Started with a '86 2.5 NA 90 pick up, progressed to a '90 200tdi 90 Hard top,
had 2 x 300tdi disco's ( 1, 7 seater and 1 comercial) Briefly a 2000 Td5 90, and currently a 2000 Td5 110 double cab (funnily only 7 numbers different in the reg to the 90!) And numerous Range Rovers that have given themselves for donor vehicles for numerous off road projects, ranging from 3.5, 4.6 and a big old straight 6 diesel lump, (toyota a think?? ) All have been projects in one form or another, the 200tdi would go anywhere off road, my current 110 although standard looking will pass 90, and keep pulling, uphill (c'mon thats gotta be an achievment, its a Landy!!! ) And the last rangie to be canabalised spawned my current trialler. 4.6 is waiting to be mated to an 88" chassis for racing!

Re: land rover
I get bored when i haven't got 1 to fix, so i generally start buliding another one!! Which inevitably leads to buying another one to break for parts to build summat thats bound to break down, bit of a viscious circle i feel!!
