Hi Guys,
Some of you might recall I purchased a clean 5 door greet and white 110 200tdi last year after chasing down a red three door 110 and giving up.
As it turns out, an American friend of mine has been asking me many times to sell him the green Landy which I responded to by saying, I will if I find a replacement. He wants to export it to the US as a keeper and toy but I really liked it.
I decided to check back with the guy with the red 3 door, who had me chasing him for three months last February to try my luck again....this time I got it and I will let my friend have the green 5 door.
The red one is a 97 according to the VIN , strange enough when I did an online VIN decode, it said that it was released from the factory and registered in 99, kind of confused by that.
So the red one is very, very clean and has zero chassis rust, just a small 2"X2" rust spot on the passenger side bulk head. The previous owner spent a bit on it to respray and on some add ons. Some mods I will keep others i wont, like the thick steel checkered flooring at the rear.
He used it for sports and no utility purposes, not sure if it was weight needed for off roading and corner balancing. I would not use it for utility purposes, I will get a trailer if I need to fetch cement or gold from the mines :clap2:
The seats and interior is in excellent condition, no cracks, tears or stains. There is one trim strip which is broken no biggie, will replace that.
There are a few stock items i do not like, the three door has a different dash layout, I cannot purchase one of the consoles for HAM radio, CD player, gauges and switches. It has a flush fit dash with no room for stuff.
I would probably get the rear bulkhead bar from Mud UK for more leg room and rear clearance for my 85" model airplane fuselage.
I fixed a few things already like the hood release cable but the more serious stuff like oil leak when running and power steering leak. I think the power steering leak if coming from the box seal, common issue.
Also just discovered a hub bolt half way out, that's why I had her brought home with a tow truck, to go though everything before driving it, I test drove it and that was all.
The engine is sluggish and seems really down on power, she has 265,000 KM, but starts instantly, no smoke of any kind, so might have to do some fuel pump mods and go from there. changed all the fluids already.
Enough yapping time for some pics.
