Got the 90 back from the MoT. It passed but has a couple of advisories. A rear shock is misting slightly, a rear wheel bearing has slight play, the fuel lift pump is showing signs of weeping and the bulkhead outriggers will need welding. It’s got me thinking of a galvy chassis…

Hi and welcome! Nice looking Landy! I can’t believe for a moment that it misbehaves…

Get one started!😁

A good mix. Some series 2’s and 3’s, early 90’s and 110’s, defenders, freelanders and discos. 😁

Very specific!

Hi and welcome! Much safer than a motorbike for a mid-life crisis!

A galvanised chassis and originality will make this desirable. £8k sounds achievable. A new set of galvanised body cappings and a polish up of the bodywork would work wonders.
