Not sure I should be doing this or not so I’ll put it out there to gauge interest....
1987 Ninety ex MOD. I am the first owner since released and have owned her for 3 1/2 years. She originally had a 2.5NA diesel but that got removed in favour of a 300ti from a disco 2 years ago.
The engine runes well and is leak free. It is fitted using an adapter that means the original chassis mounts remain unchanged. The old N/A air filter is mounted horizontally on the timing chest where the air con compressor would go.
The intercooler and pipe work are nice and clean and there is no excessive smoke from the exhaust.
There has been no fan fitted since the engine was installed, it has never got hot, even in summer traffic.
It has been serviced every 6ish months.
The gearbox is the LT77 which operates fine with no unusual clunks, noises or jumping out of gear.
Transfer box it also fine but it does weep slightly, resulting in a drip every now and again. As an aside, I have a disco transfer box which could be included in the sale for the right price.
The chassis is perfectly sound, never welded and doesn’t need any either.
The bulkhead is good but would benefit from footwells in the not too distant future. They arent actually holed but they are a bit frilly. This only affects the heel and toe boards, the sides are absolutely solid.
The bodywork is typical ex mod, with dings, dents and flakey paint all over. This doesn’t bother me personally (in fact it’s one of the reasons I bought ex mod in the first place). It has a snorkel fitted but it isn’t actually connected to the air box. It also has black chequer plate wing tops fitted.
It has black wolf rims shod with BFG KM2’s, all with about 12mm tread.
I fitted side windows in the hard top, along with rear bench seats. I also replaced the front seats with later ones and also installed an exmoor trim centre seat with headrest and 3 point seat belt.
There are a pair of spots, mounted on an A bar on the front, and an led light bar over the back door.
All additional switches are Carling, and are fitted in place of the old MOD centre light switch. Original lighting is now controlled by a standard light switch on the steering column.
MOT until May16th, 2019.
If I get anywhere near the asking price, I will include a Narrow track Sankey trailer. This is very much a project, requiring substantial repairs to most of it!! It has been stored at my mother in laws house for the last year so I would need to assess its condition if it’s wanted.
Any questions, drop me a pm. I’ll post some pictures now and some more when it gets light. If you want pics of specific areas, let me know.....
