1975 109" 5-Door Tropical Roof RHD Series III - Land Rovers Only

OzX · 09-08-2008, 09:39 PM

Since my Xterra will in the shop next week having the lift installed I pulled my 109" out of the garage and got it somewhat roadworthy so I'll have some transportation while the X is down.

This poor thing has been on the back burners since I've been modding my X. Its a work in progress with certainly a long way to go but its made a bit of a transformation from the first pict which is when I got her.

It certainly has been fun driving around town!

Tropical roof eh? How's it driving without doors, I'd imagine it makes it better in nice weather. Cool truck.

Cool truck indeed ! Many onlookers when you drive around town I think ?
Been in Saudi ?
I've been there as well when my parents lived there.
I've got some friends who have lived there as well who were and still are involved in Land Rovers.

Well..thats one way to find out how robust your Chassis is! Just about everything that makes the truck ridgid has been removed!

Nice to see a 109 that is loved though. I bet it must be quite fun to drive around like that!
I dont envy puting it all back together and trying to find all the leaks afterwords!

Nice truck!!

I concur!

xterra is just a knock off discovery anyways. sell the x, get a discovery, and dont keep either garaged.
