Hi everyone, due to being diagnosed with lung cancer I am going to be unable to work for the next while as I go through my treatment so I decided I needed something to occupy my time while I'm out of hospital. Having no knowledge of mechanics or auto repair I couldn't think of a better way to spend the next few months than getting an old Landrover back on the road! As luck would have it my friend had one lying in a field that he has very generously given to me as he's unlikely to ever use it again. It's been sitting for at least 4 years and I don't know when it was last running but from my uneducated glance over it *seems* to be in decent condition.
I believe it's a Series 3 as according to the DVLA website it was produced and first registered in 1981? I've attached a pile of pictures so any info you guys could give would be appreciated.
I don't know how much work it's going to take but I'll be sure to make a thread and track the project from start to finish when I begin! Also I should probably add, my friends dad is a mechanic so I've got someone that knows what he's on about when the forums or Haynes manuals are beyond me.
Cheers
Sean
