Hi all!
Firstly new to the forum- although been on here many times for advice and guides so thanks and hello!
I have a new project, a 1984 110 that's been sat outside on the farm for the last 10 or so years.
I would really appreciate some advice and inspiration on this one. I have already decided on a new galv chassis. But I am undecided on all the rest.
The bulkhead looks fairly good surprisingly, although needs complete new interior dash. Also needs new rear tub. What I can't decide on is engine upgrade etc?
- which engine? I'm thinking 300tdi and can buy galv chassis accordingly
- upgrade to td5 bulkhead or look around for original dash
- keep rear tub or look for utility back or station wagon perhaps?
- try and keep as close to original 1984 look as possible or upgrade visually, grills/lights etc
I know a lot of it is based on personal preference but I'm interested to get other peoples opinions and ideas to help with my decision making. Is also going to need a full respray- I've seen some great dark grey and black combinations that I like but then the original colours look great also apart from my 110 original brown colour!
Apologies if this is posted incorrectly etc. Any comments will be great!

Haha Yes I know what you mean! I'm hoping bulkhead is okay so just need to get a new interior dash. But other than that most of it will be changed. Rear tub is in bad condition and tailgate has been bodged. I could keep original engine but I think a 300tdi would be much nicer to drive.
