Got this 1990 truck cab yesterday having been without a Landy for nearly a year after I sold
my last defender in a fit of madness. Needs new cross member, new engine and a general tidy.....probably a sh1t load of welding too. Engine is a 2.5td and seems lumpy and smokes when rev'd or accelerating, also on starting up (see pic) Looking forward to getting started next weekend. :)

Long story short version....
Chassis was shot, engine died
Bulkhead leaked and then I cried.
So bought a disco, donor bus
Ripped out the engine with little fuss
Ordered a chassis shiny and bright
And started a rebuild yesterday night.........Game on.
 
Looks good mate. I sometimes think, 'yeah I've got everything I need' but theirs always something I forget, or several items as the case usually is.
