Had it a few days now and havent posted a pic yet!! It seems i missed a few things when i looked at it nothing a welder cant sort out... if only i had one... but i'll list em as i go. Still in the process of finding new bits to fix each day so i'll start with a pic of where it is today

looking good

so you got it then mic...

whats the plan.set of dimonds then off you go...

its a really good one to start with as a base, looks clean,little rust (they all have that)

i finally got round to looking at a early metal dash one to restore as a road (only) car.
we will see if he takes my offer. (same color as yours)

don't forget we are ALL here to be of assistance.

Thanks for the support

I'm gonna look into a welder after my hols but I don't really have anywhere to do it so thinking of a gasless welder and doing it there where it's parked there's a few parking spaces opposite that are a bit more enclosed as I'm not sure how legal or what the neighbours might say about welding in the street!

There's a hole under the carpet in the boot, a hole behind the wheel and the arches could do with tacking back together so it's only light stuff to repair.

It's gonna be for road use only I sold the mud tyres and got the road ones instead, I'm looking to make it a bit more comfy rather than 4x4.

it looks great and luckily it seems to have parabolic springs (single leaf on the front and 2 leafs on the back) which are supposed to be more comfy I'm jelous of the hard top, have you used it much? or does it not have an mot?

Been using it everyday for work, lots of mot left on it gettin used to the ride now but it's still harsh at times!

That looks like it'll be a tidy little truck once its finished. Thats a cool snorkle too

where are the front sidelights and indicators though??

I personally think you'll be better off with a gas mig and then just put up a wind break when you do it. it is easier to get good welds with gas and they will be stronger too.

yea i'll take a pic of that snorkel its quite good

i'll take a pic of it when its dark for the lights + indicator its quite cool actually

An interior shot. notice the peg for the choke and the cd player wont fit fully back as the wiring loom hits the heater so sticks out! the gearstick doesnt hit it so i can live with it for now....

mic the peg is standard.

i had a few months old one in 84,that had a peg too

please keep the intirior as standard as poss.
trust me you don't see any early ones anymore.

remember its rairer than a lj80.
