110 V8 lpg???

Hi there! Haven't been on for a while but need your to tap into you great experience regarding v8 lpg after selling my beloved 90 county TD due to everything going wrong (TD says it all!) I bought a disco for cheapness. I always said i would never have one, but to be fair it has been pretty good, 300tdi auto nice to drive etc.... but its time to get rid!!!!! Can't stand it anymore, i miss mine soooo much! Had my OH truck cab all week end and i love that car! Can't have another 90 as it just isn't big enough but want a county not a van. Any way i shall get to my point, due to the price of bloody diesel now, and the lack of chance of it changing any time soon, i thought about a v8 lpg. Always put off them as in defenders they put the tanks in the back and so you loose even more space, but that wouldn't matter in a 110 (i know they not so nice looking but so much more practical for me). I've always liked my diesels and haven't had anything to do with v8's so wanted some advise on anything i should about, pros cons etc, and what i should look for. I only decided on saturday i'd do abit of research and have think about getting one then i was offered one last night!! Wasn't sure what to so as hadn't really made my mind up but am going to have a look next weekend, kind of a friend/acquaintance that i do trust. It's a 1987 110 county v8 lpg needs a bit of tlc; small hole in bulk head and will need a new rear crossmember he thinks in a couple of years, he would throw in a good second hand door as as usual its nakerd, but good engine and new gearbox & transfer box @ cost of £1000, i think he said track edge tyres but would want new tyres anyway, will prob need spraying if i was that bothered, and the rest of the chasis is pretty good. He said if he advertised it for £1500 he'd prob get £1200. My OH is a welder fabricator by trade so that is no prob, and he spends all his spare time working on cars (he has about 6 at the mo) and brother has a compresser and sprayer so that wouldn't be prob either. The idea would be buy that and do it up over a couple of months or so until i sold mine?? So what do you think? know nothing about V8s or LPGs!!! (thanks for reading my waffle)
