Good rough truck, has taken me a few places.
Specs are:
1979 2 door
3.5 V8 (out of a 1980 110 LR, 8.13:1 Comp ratio, twin SU carbs) has just had a new Camshaft fitted yesterday
4 speed manual
2" (at least) spring lift
RangieSpares fibreglass wheelarch flares
2.25 inch exhaust, quite rumbly
RS5000 shocks on rear, Monroe Gas on front
32x9.5x16 SuperSwamper TSL with a fair bit of tread left
new suspension bushes all round
new seatbelts all round
Has had all major floor structure replaced due to rust two years ago, I took the the thing to bits and did the job properly, spent a lot of money on it. Rust isn't an issue on this car!
Body and interior wise it's a bit crude, carpets hold water and cause rust so when I rebuilt it I chucked them out (they were tatty anyway).
The body has had lots of encounters, the paint is quite scratched and thin in places. Part of the rear overhang has been chopped in anticipation of a rear bar so looks crude at the moment.
I'll be sad to see it go but I've upgraded to a later model.
Asking price is $2500 ono. Any questions feel free,
Email rangie_rocks_79@hotmail.com or call 03 3142340 in the evenings.
Regards,
Benjo

You may well have seen the truck about. I'm at Pyramid Valley near Hawarden, basically 25 mins inland from Waipara.
I used to the odd club trip with Chch LR club, been off the radar with overseas travel etc last year or so. It's a goldy/yellow a bit faded and dinged, wheel flares are black.
I'll see about getting a picture posted, been a while since I took any of it.
Cheers,
Benjo
