New arrival

Hi all,
New to this site but a Land Rover owner for many years, owned series vehicles, Defenders and the odd Freelander over the years, just finished a year long restoration of my old 110 CSW which I've owned since 2001.
Frequented the magazine forums for some time but sadly they seem to suffer from lack of use these days, so thought to join a more vibrant forum/scene.
Will look next at some rebuild threads and maybe post my efforts thus far.

Cheers all

Welcome to lz, Chris!

Pics of the 110 would be great!

Thanks Turboman,
Perhaps I should start a new thread for all the photos, I have about 500 of them , I'll poke around and find a good spot to start a rebuild thread.
We used the 110 for a good few years with the kids and did quite a few LandRover shows, she then became more and more maintenance heavy until eventually the bulkhead and chassis had more patches than an American quilt. I parked her next to a hedge and that's where she stayed for 7 years ! Promised myself every spring that I would restore it but work etc got in the way.
I retired from my previous career a year ago on health grounds and finally had the time to do it.
Here's a photo of the strip down.



And then New chassis and bulkhead going back on.
I need to download the last photos of her MOT day and then you can see the finished article.

Enjoy
Chris

Looking forward to seeing more photos .
