Mostyn once had a loving home. He was happy and proud.
Then his owner moved to China and got a divorce.
Mostyn was left behind. Forgotten about, Neglected & abandoned.

Now Mostyn lives with me. He's still in need of TLC and will need some time before he runs free.
But we'll get there. One day at a time.

New chassis?
Looks like she needs one!

No idea yet Flossie, chassis is a chopped and reinforced 1972 RR chassis.
Will be in garage and ready for closer inspection and poking around.
Hopefully a complete new chassis can be avoided at this stage

Keeping costs to a minimum to get it road worthy.
I can't afford the time or money for a full build this year.
And the wife won't let me have a third land rover parked up in the field

Where are all the usual, "You can't advertise with less than 50 posts," posts?

Fecked if I know what Wammers is on about either.
I thought, maybe, there was a sign advertising something in one of the pics? But...Nope!
@gav86mitch if you're not aware...
No posting stuff for sale until you're got 50 posts under your belt.

Think I'd start with the chassis - it looks pretty bad.... which might be a good thing - often its the ones that don't look bad which are the worst...

Will keep that in mind.

I'm starting with engine first because it's been parked up for about 5 years. Untouched.

So want to know own if a transplant is needed before i progress.

Everything was waxoyled. Clear to be seen on the floor beneath it in flakes. So hasn't been left exposed for the duration.

We will see how it goes. If at all
