some of you may have seen it on ebay last week when it didnt sell,but one cash private sale later we were towing it home,it came with a car trailer and a lighting board included.
the body is completely gone but the chassis is solid and the engine is good,already got a weber carb on it and has only done 55k :doublethumbs:
has a leaky water pump and the rear diff seal is leaking but other than that it seems mechanically sound.apart from the leaf springs being flat :lol:

has a welded rear diff and a badly made sorkel,also has studded tyres which will be getting replaced with some mud terrains soon.

back end has now had a spring over axle conversion and we are testing using coil springs on it to see if its a viable option

yeah i found that amusing,apparently it was the only window he had left when he rolled it so it got put in the front.
i pushed it out so i could see when i was driving it

the back end is far too stiff atm so we are looking at swapping the coils we fitted in the back for softer ones.
