Well now my One Ten is at the local MoT station and just in time for winter too

I can't wait to be able to reclaim some free time (arrgh it's a landy who am I kidding lol)

Starting with a £500 2.5 petrol One Ten CSW that had been sat around for a year or so and my written off Disco 200Tdi.....

Between the original purchase price and all the other bits (rear x member, new lights throughout, new rear loom, 200Tdi conversion manifold, new exhaust and all the other wee bits you end up needing lol) I reckon it'll be on the road for under £2000.

As of tomorrow I should be SO very very chuffed.

I reckon it was that final deep clean that made all the difference.....

Seriously - good job, and good to get a decent 110 for that budget! Cheers, A

I should also add all of it's been done outside by me on my own in all weathers (especially the last few weeks weather!!!! Lol). So glad I don't have to stress about it anymore.

I HEAR YA BRO! Me too! Except I'm on crutches due to needing a new knee/back, s+d it new body! Well done, got my mot last week after a year of outdoor restoration. A Land Rover is like a marriage rather than some flight by night floozy! Thing is... there is no end.... no resting on laurels... (runs off cackling maddly) "Ha ha Ha I've finished me Landyeeeee......."

Well done fella.

It's a great feeling when you get that MOT after sweating and swearing at your landy for a few months..

I went by about 4 and it was all shut up and the motor hadn't moved so at 9 am tomorrow (well today I suppose lol) I'll be heading up and waiting till it's done. It's just a wee country garage and time is never of the essence ;-)
