Say hello to Pig. A high mileage, 3 door commercial that’s been tugging around a bowser for the last few years.
An almost accidental purchase. Was watching on eBay for a bit then once spoke to owner I thought I’d grab it.
It won’t be a restoration by any means. It’s had most the rot issues sorted a while back although some bits could do with another clean up and paint.
Issues:
Fuel gauge constantly showing empty with fuel light - now fixed
Interior was absolutely hanging
Drivers window goes down when your start it
Think aircon needs seeing to and fan resistor too.
Think transfer box is leaking but need to jetwash underneath
Good:
Overall the body and standard of welding is good. The previous owner was a Landy man and despite it being worked he’s kept it serviced.
Most things work!
Work completed so far:
First off I emptied it all out! Then I ripped out the carpets and ruster foam and wire brushed back and treated, everything then got a dousing of bilt hamber wax. Also gave the interior a good clean.
Fixed dodgy fuel gauge
Fitted a low coolant sensor with alarm.
Fitted a bit of sound deadening
Bought a new carpet which I’m half way through fitting
New gaiters
Got given some mats
Next plans is to drive her, give a coolant flush and stat change and fit some gauges and external fuse box.
Happy days
