How I spent the last year

This is a beat up Land rover parts truck I bought from someone...... I spent a couple of bucks replacing the missing parts, and did a bit of work to it.

Just a reminder to the Ausies and Brits, these are uncommon in Quebec.

Well done
 
That big garage and loads of energy goes a long way to make a tear down and bit by bit rebuild a bit more manageable. A very nice restoration. Have you any idea what year that 90 was built originally
Whats next? a nice UK sourced trailer with disc brakes to throw all the cam nets and camping gear into. :salute:

It's a 1986 2.5 NA Deisel, 5 speed transmission. Originally an FFR, but it was stripped of that too. I now need a Bedford to drag the Land Rover and the Ferret to shows. But we'll wait to see what my wife says.....it'll probably be NO!!!! The Land Rover served all over, but I found IFOR under the paint, and it was last used as a range safety vehicle at BATUS.

There was a batch of SWB LandRovers imported to work on the James Bay Project back in the 1970's. There were 'around' but never very common. Except for commercial vehicles which are SUVs in Westmount, the only other source of LandRovers is BATUS.

That is a fantastic job!
I know of one of those close to my house, but the frame is gone! All I know is that it has an aluminum body.
Maybe if I ever get the M38a1 fnished I'll go scare it up

Again great job

Mark..
Don't wait..go get that body and whatever else you can retrive...if you wait you will loose it..to the scrappers..aluminum scrap is to attractive to let sit..
Go get it...Put it in the spare bedroom if you must...contact Bruce Parker for instructions how to do that ..He had his whole Fox,armoured car in pieces in his house in Napanee the last time Don Dingwall and I went to visit him...Save that body..or it will be gone..
:bang::remember :drunk: :support

It's was dragged into a shed a while ago and is safe there. I talked to the owner of it last week but still have been unable to see it.
I'll try again this week and see how far I get, I do have a friend with a barn close by I'm sure I can store it in....

Cheers
