Timbuktu for a laugh

[kimanchi]

Just bought a 67 series IIA and decided for some silly idea to take it to Timbuktu and back. Haven't even driven it on the road as yet. Any help on preparation and kit that i might need to make this journey that little bit more bearable???????????

Fix your clutch first!

 

[kimanchi]

well yeah there is that and also the door pillars need repairing, the blower needs wiring in. among a few other small things.

[kimanchi]

i do want to. I really want to. But need to know if she's gonna kill me on the way. She being the landy not the wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[choppa]

when you've fell in love with it , and you will , you won't mind what it do'es cos thats what they do !!
just service it , try to slow the leaks a bit and don't rush it , cos series don't do rush !

 

[kimanchi]

it puts my mind at ease that she has no leaks. and adding to the fact the previous owners include Frog Island 4x4 who used it daily and also a bloke i know who has enviable amounts of cash to throw at it

 

[choppa]

the fact it don't leak could mean theres no oil in it ! you'll learn!!

 

[kimanchi]

Seriously theres oil in it. Shes mint at the mo, 40 years old in october and its in better nick then most new cars. But then again i ahven't driven it yet. So things will change

 

[choppa]

[kimanchi]
