Hi,
I am a long time Land Rover owner/driver. Learned to drive back in the 80s in a tatty `series 2A. Had a number of Defenders and a Disco over the years but recently getting back to basics.
Proud owner of an 80” Series 1 which was a long held dream. She is very clean and tidy but more recently a rolling project under the bonnet...
Prompted to join here as I have just started the restoration of my other dream, a 1983 3 door Range Rover Classic. Right now I am in the “where are the problems?” phase. Pleased to say she is in better condition than I hoped for when I took delivery (I think). Electrics are stuffed, rotten tailgate (no surprise there), inner wings rotten, engine (I hope) can be tweaked back into shape. Chassis and transmission seem good. Not all bad for a risky flea bay purchase
Hopefully I can find lots of inspiration and plenty of answers to questions that will doubtless arise.
