Hello all,
I am an owner of an old Series IIa 109sw Landy LHD, dating from 1963 according to its certificate of registration and vin. Originally it has been a 4cyl petrol model, but the previous owner (a long time ago, probably around '90s because of the ridiculous price gap between petrol and diesel) converted it to a crappy but quite heavy duty 3.3 diesel engine. This engines comes from a "truck" called TAM 2001, a quite popular vehicle around Balkan region(it means crap).
Around the '95 this landy was bought by my parents and the "awful" journey begun(don't ask why). Over the time, the engine caused many problems and on top of that add the usual corroded frame, and brakes that most of the time didn't serve their purpose, these and some other issues led to a long lasting restoration process that never has begun. Because I live in a quite stupid country (Macedonia, fyrom or whatever you prefer) where money are always the problem, this landy is sitting in my yard for a quite long time, scattered on pieces and waiting for a better time.
Currently I don't know what to do with this thing. Full restoration at this time is not possible due to a family and financial issues. Selling it piece by piece is an option, or completely as it is only if the price is right, but seems that nobody in this country wants to pay 1500 euro. Taking it to the nearest scrap yard is a stupid idea. Leaving it scattered is also stupid idea. I'm hopeless so I need some advice.
Kind regards
