Hi all,
I had a 109 2.25 petrol once, as a project, no time/money so I sold it. Anyway I've always wanted a 109 pickup/cab, but with some modernisation (sacrilege!).
I need the vehicle for carting crap around, and towing my race car. I presume the Landy will make a good towing vehicle, especially in lwb format?? Or would the SWB be better? I intend to make a hard cover for the back end to keep stuff secure.
I was hoping to fit a modern (LR) TDI engine into one for a bit more power, and some better economy I'd have thought? I'm looking for some combination that will make my motorway journeys easy, so taller gearing/diff/whatever. Its about 300 miles to Santa Pod for me and my current car (2.5 Omega) does it easily, I'd hate to regret going the LR route, but I want to sell the Omega and always wanted a truck. American ones are too thirsty so I'm hoping I can figure something out with a 109. Can anyone tell me of a tried and tested conversion please? Or do I have to come up with something myself?
Thank you
