landy_bug:
after some much needed thought and some bodged attempts at repair, i have decided galv is the only way to go so now the strip down begins. within a couple of days its surprising how you can strip an old 88 to chassis and bulkhead rolling chassis.
two cutting blades and 4 drill bits later my girlfriend and myself have stripped her down (the landy that is). i hope that time and money do not run away, although they probably will. look out for posts as i may need some advice as we go along. hopefully pics will be posted soon if anyone interested

am i mad or plain stupid but i can't see the old girl stripped of parts and sold to highest bidder.

but some things will go essex v6 will be one of them, don't know what to replace with i ain't one for factory resto. maybe v8 or something landy based so i can do alrc rtv trials with local club? any opinions would be welcome.

keep you posted

Stick a 200 or 300 in there mate and drop some disc braked axles onto he leafs, not a hard job, just fiddly.

Maybe for someone who's good at fabrication it is just fiddly.  To someone with little fabrication experience it could be a nightmare.  :doh:

want something a little more standard/ cheaper to fit cost is everything. i was thinking 2.5 n/a easy to come by, how easy to fit? other wise 2.25 petrol or diesel. i am using new galv chassis and don't want to do any fabricating. plus i'm not a big fan of tdi power in series doesnt seem right, if i wanted 200tdi utility i would save time and money on a 90/110 but thanks anyhoo.

You need to move a chassis engine mount for the 2.5 NA.
