we have had them in our family from day one grandad brought a centre drive in 1948,then a 80",86",107 station wagon,dad had the first series 2 109,then 2a 109,2b forward control with 6 pot soon got rid of that s3 station wagon 109 i brought my first 88 soft top then109 hard top s2a ffr,s3 ffr then a few ex mil 110s,still have one as daily runabout have also owned a couple of jap pickups but not as easy to repair as the landies so guess you can say there in my blood ,oh forgot the disco 1 then disco 3 soon went back to disco1 the 3 spent more time in garage then out,yes they have their short comings but they were always built for a rough life and if looked after will always work when needed

update on progress,finaly got the drivers side finished and the door skin bottom, a bit more little patching to do on the frame top and on to the next side,work is intermitent on it at moment as we now have our bio-mass generater delived so busy fitting that up for a while

also standerd fit on rapier 130

it will fit any coil sprung landy,disc,s will be of the vented type and the propshaft must be double carden type

a video for you

got her moved down to our new working area today ready to take the transmission out to find out what the problem is,used the contractor on the straight and the conq to pull her around the corners

they have them a bit cheaper http://www.vrakking-tires.com/stock/4x4-tires/303-1100r16-michelin-xzl-used.html

hi welcome , the only thing to say about buying from them is go up and look at them first as they sometimes do not match the description

we have found new cabs but sadly left hand drive and very expensive , converting them over will be just as much work as repairing our one

more of the door now the bodge plate is removed
