So I spose I better tell you all about this... Kind of always wanted one, decided I needed something which I can tow a trailer with/cart stuff, but had to have some class... Guy I bought it off was just down the road in Mosgiel and has had it for 13 yrs and done most of the hard work. He has converted it to run a Nissan ED33 3.3L diesel with matching 4spd box and used it as his daily. He bought it as a project with a Holden6 in it and did all the rust repairs on the bulkhead, floors and rear crossmember. It has had a quick spray and the canvas roof is in relatively good condition (need to give it a clean and waterproof). So things to do... It needs replacement doortops, these ones are stuffed and have lots of crappy repairs, plus the windows rattle. Will probably get repros with new channels It is bloody loud - sure it's a diesel but you absolutely cannot have a conversation in this thing while on the road. Will be sound deadening the floor and firewall, plus look to get a quieter muffler It cant do road miles - being a diesel with no O/D it is absolutely wringing its neck out at 50mph with the std diffs. Will look to do a conversion with early rangerover diff heads as they are 10 spline and a straight swap. Of course it has high/low so I don't think I would loose anything in going to the 3.5 diffs. Other than that I'm chuffed. Have no real intention of finding large pools of mud to wade this thing through but would like to do some back country drives in it. Plus its going to be bloody handy to have something decent to cart stuff around in. discuss //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/34767-sams-landy/
