[Cavey_P38]

hi guys

yeah i know, going to the dark side or maybe seen the light.
been to look at a defender 90 pick up
( missus is moaning about me getting the p38 dirty around the farm and broke a widscreen using shotgun from drivers seat):doh:

is there anything i should be on the look out for

it is on a C reg
2.5na no PAS

needs a starter motor
and some welding at the back on the chassis near the rear cross member
needs some welding as rust below windscreen
Beleive i can buys those bits from famous four for £14 a side

how bad a job is it to to remove the rear tub for welding?


how hard is it to fit PAS?

( can rob some bits off the father in laws classic in the barn, possibly 200tdi engine swap in the future

what sort of price with no MOT or tax, got a winch fitted and a n alloy canopy

Cheers
Cavey

Take the shotgun along with you when you go to look at cars. It's a big help when negotiating.

what sort of price with no MOT or tax

£500-1000? Sounds like a bit of a shed, but then there's no Defender that can't be fixed up with a welder, an eBay account, and a little time.

Well shoot through the side window instead then :doh:

ha ha, it was out of the passenger side window, but from the drivers seat, reckon the pressure from the blast turned a chip into a crack> bet that wont use that example on the autoglass ads<<!!!!!!

re bit of a shed, probably so but only want it for shoting and popping around the farm, filling up pheasant fgeeders and carrying my toolbox etc.

Price is in that bracket< if he had took 500 i would own it already.

hopefully going for another look on tues

If you're shooting a shotgun from inside a vehicle the only Defender you need are for your ears! :mil44:

 

[khaos]

Lucky the window blew out then because if not your ear drums would have.

 

[Cavey_P38]

tell me about it. Had to have the shot though, cheeky bugger was taking the **** thinking i couldn't get him

yeah ear defenders work, reckon that is why the missus is keen for me to get a defender so i will be stood up in the pickup and she will be warm in the cab....!!

clearly she hasnt sussed that it comes with lots less stuff than her P38 like a heater..!!

off to look tomorrow again, but am taking the trailer and cash so could be i will own it in 24hrs

 

[Andy Land]

Good luck then Rambo ... hope you get what you want ... :mil80:

 

[Cavey_P38]

Now if i had a gun like his .....!!

the wheat would be intact and the freezer full.

Now what sort of licence would i need for that and how could i mount it on a defender..?

you will know if i get it, be lots of post on here like how does this bit come off etc.

Is there a downloadable manual for a defender 1984 ish like the RAVE for the P38 and disco> tried google but lots of hits re computer virus

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

of course there is - Def_90_110_WSM_Book_1 (sec1-10)

 

[Cavey_P38]

Cheers for that

will have to get the missus on the download as i do not have a stalkerbook account

had a search on here but the posts were 2007 ish and not helpful

Not have to buy one, if the man is sensible tomorrow, he will have cash in his poocket and a clear driveway..!!

And i will have another project....!!
