    18k and my time was free ,,,i bought a complete basket case knowing i would rebuild or replace most of it it.... (in my view) ended up better than new just wish that i did a110 in place of the 90 as I've gained 2 more grand children since i started it and I've got a 4th on the way lol

    Rebuilding my 90

    Update done 700 miles in “THE GENERAL” chased a few diesel leaks all sorted now but the ‘mark one’ gear selector I made as a feasibility study to see if it could be done worked a treat but as I built it without seals it leaked (go figure) so made a new oil tight version happy days on a foot...
