Hi all just thought I would say hello :) I pick up my 1985 90 tomorrow! And I can't wait! Pics will follow soon!

Abit about me...

22 years old self employed plasterer and plumber/general building.

The landy will only be a toy so have alot of things planned for it. As I have a van for every day use and the use of the mrs focus as well.

I've had the landy lifted 2" before I pick it up and I've also brought a wading kit ready.

Were going to take it to buildwas the weekend for a first play with a few mates in there 4x4's

Sounds good mate.

I have been outside today in the wind and rain getting mine ready for the mot in the morning.

Am sure some one on here will have what your looking for. I had insa turbos on mine for a while they were great off road but sounded like a jet engine once i got over 20mph.
 
It's all part of the fun though isn't it!

Hopefully they will soon :)

Well I've got my landy any way! And I love it! Few small things to sort but should be ok :) the mrs also loves it! Think she's driven it more than me! She's even pinched it to go to work in! :/
