thanks to all who gave a positive response to my question and ok i'll look out for and think up stuff to annoy the nutters!!!!
 
HI,im really thinking of getting a 1963 swb landy thats sitting in a yard unloved,it's a petrol but i can get my hands on a TDI and gearbox from a disco for £50,the land rover has a full external roll cage with front and rear steel bullbars,a home made snorkle and uprated shocks with poly bushed leaf springs,it still has original reg plates on it(black and white)and the guy says it hasnt been on the road for about 20 years,that he used it for extreme site work in the north of scotland(forestry,hydro construction)although he does have the registration docs,the chassis is in mint condition but the body is a bit bashed about(i dont mind)i really want to put it on the road and use it as-A a daily driver and B fun at the weekend as it'll be cheap classic insurance and tax exempt and i can fix it easly if and when it breaks down,so my question is should i go for it??? or should i stay away.
PS......it's free if i want it!!!!!
ok that fell through when i said i was gonna put a diesel into it the guy that has it said that he would put a diesel init if it could be done cause he didnt know that you could do that(well duhhhhhh!!!!!),so ive now just bought the disco that i was getting the 200tdi from,guy says he'll mot it for me so i'll be on the road in a week,road tax is a bit steep but the cheap insurance balences it out!!!
