Hello Ladies and Gents''
As promised here is where i'm up to with my wolf 90 rebuild.
I bought this nineteen years ago from the first original owner of ten years with 100,000 miles on the clock.
Four of these were built in 1989 as a prototype for trials with the MOD by special vehicles division.
They were finished in nato green paint and FFR soft tops and surprisingly they had the 2.5 DT engine
with LT77S gearbox's.
The MOD never used the 2.5 DT and is probably why they didn't take delivery of them, so they sat in the
yard unregistered till June 1990 when they were given the EAC registration and sold to newly opened
Torver Land rover in Cumbria.
Mine was bought by a gentleman who kept it as it left the factory, and serviced religiously by Kentdale Land rover in Kendal.
Upon my purchase i wasn't keen on the nato paint, so i decided to change its colour to Epsom green and boy did it look good!!!
I had loads of picture of our travels all over England as my daily driver for eighteen years with the mileage
now showing 320,000, but my old lap top gave up the will to live and i have not been able to recover them as yet.
As you can see now, i have changed the colour to black with a civilian Exmoor trim soft top and boost alloy wheels.
The chassis is a new Richards galvanised 200 TDI with engine mounts for 300 TDI to LT77 box.
The bulkhead is also a galvanised re manufactured item so the Land rover should see me out or until we
are forced into electric Scalextric porta potty's...
I hope to have it finished before the winter hits us and will keep this thread updated with the progress...
So thanks for looking and remember ? Building a car is rather like making love to a beautiful woman!
You spend fortunes on her and she still wants more, more, more...

OOPS too many pictures
