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.

I thought I'd bought everything I needed about 2 months ago. Spent a lot of money since then!

Looking good though, mate. Keep the pics coming.
