yep I was suprised , it's nearly all original apart from where the previous owner touched in with a yard brush on the wings , of course all the paintwork has plenty patina

I thought I'd have a go at bringing some life into the owld paintwork , had a quick go with the machine polisher tonight and its give it a bit life

Welcome ... just as good a feeling fixing as it is owning

looks a very nice mudplugger , welcome aboard from a fellow new member

To fit the intercooler hes obviously reduced the size of the main radiator which in turn reduces the surface area of main cooling , I'm all for standard spec unless improving the life of the engine and contemplating going back to the larger rad. I've seen these intercooler set ups sitting behind...

Apart from the landy , I'm everything 2 stroke or 80's

My engine has had a rebuild so hoping for some reliability , now you mention it, provision is in place for the intercooler upgrade on mine ( previous owner fitted intercooler but no pipework as yet) my intention was to complete the install but there's a few mix messages , some say it will be a...

Got one in mine runs bladdy great

Cheers Pal , just starting to get into the swing of things

Where'd he go ? looking forward to an update

Did you use the string and fairy liquid method or are they just an absolute pain to fit period ?

Yep of course but it's a good reference starting point

Nice one .. thanks for that cheers

A right bummer this kind of scenario and hard to take on the chin so early after purchase, hopefully you got a half decent deal with the view to repairs in the back of your mind , probably not to this extent though. It's always best to get the hard blunt facts from those that have experience ...

That's good info so I know really that I may have a little sag on the front but the rear is definitely sitting higher when comparing to yours which are quite close in measurements, my thinking now , drop the rear for sure which in turn may allow the front to raise a little ? if not Its no...
