Mightymariner Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 What will you do when this is finished? Can you contemplate selling it? Someone bought me Ben Fogle's Land Rover book for Christmas, it's not a bad read, makes you quite nostalgic and realise how much of an icon these vehicles are. Second thoughts, don't read it if you are thinking about selling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second thoughts, don't read it if you are thinking about selling! when its finished i will be having a short rest, then i will be getting my garage in order, then it will be decision time, series 1, or try something a bit more simple like a motor bike, first job i think will be a Yamaha TY 175 for myself, and it will be hard to let this go but that was always the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Having done a Series 1 complete rebuild my advice would be not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 do tell, it wont take much to put me off another big project, more detail/reasons the better Sourcing parts is the main issue as unlike Series 3 bits you can't fill your boots at Paddocks. Also when I had finished mine I apparently had the wrong year door hinges on and it took me nearly 4 months to find the correct year ones. I spent close to 20K on mine as the rebuild run away but managed to break even when i sold it for £25K. (I'll try to dig out some pics). If you want a S1 buy one and just drive it.

If you want a S1 buy one and just drive it. spot on... .....as said if you do a seris 1.......it has got to be true....even the PROPER rivets and number....cant use a replacement rad has got to be the proper thing.........this is going to be a sourcing nightmare............ as fuji said buy a dererlict seris 1...make it sound ...and enjoy it as i said before get a short wheelbase seris 3...and make it into a full soft top and spray it to original "iceberg" colour....you already have the experience on this model....and when done IT WILL BE VERY VERY SELLABLE....if you want to sell it....also put an original capstan winch on it...it will be a joy to behold...

Fuji Shooter Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Or get a stock 90 300TDi, if you keep it original and don't overdo it on lifts, chequer plate and winch bumpers they are also highly desirable. At least you can use it all rear round and parts are plenty full. Edited January 6, 2017 by Fuji Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 iv heard parts are a begger to get hold of, sounds like a bit of a chore to me, think i will give up on that idea, still want one at some point in my life to have for myself, and if ever i do get another land rover it would be another 300 TDI, csw like my last one, if i still had that it would be worth about £12.000-£15.000 i recon, 1 previous owner, FSH and 50 odd thousand on the clock, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 i saw that series 1 yesterday when i looked on there site, and looked at the bit where they say, we will buy your land rover, dont really fancy selling it to someone else so they can make on it, unless i got what i wanted for it, but i will inquire what they will give me for it when its done, and that S3 is on ebay, and saw it in the classic land rover mag a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The thing that I do not get is why people want to keep everything as stock I suppose it is down to from when I was young way back in the 50s I always loved American hotrods so whilst loving to look of old cars/trucks I could never understand why people would spend a load of money doing up a car and keep all of the bad things in it. Mind you I like the idea of being able to use things not just look at them and have people say you have done a good job there it looks like new well the reason that we are not all driving around in 1950 cars and trucks is they was uncomfortable to drive had little power and kept braking down or would not start in the morning as the good old dynamos are rubbish. I would do a Mk 1 landy but swap out all of the dodgy old stuff for things that work and make it fun to drive with the speed and power brakes that all modern cars have today and then use it every day not only on dry days in the summer sorry I just do not get that.

viking Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 i think its a land rover thing, they are what they are and as long as there are people paying silly money for them people will continue doing them up to original standards, as you say a series one as a daily drive would be no fun whatsoever,or any series land rover come to think of it, a weekend run around in the summer and its a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 If anyone has the skill the space and money to do it rather than having to pay out stupid road tax every year a nice 25 year old car truck landrovers and Jeeps are good as you can still get most of the parts Ie new galvanized chassis and body parts but replace the doggy old parts with modern power stirring and brakes I would go with an auto gearbox electrics etc and you have a good looking but usable truck that is nice to drive and you do not have to pay road tax ether.
