Hi all, I'm off to look at an 83 SWB Petrol Station Wagon.
He's owned it 4 years and it had a new chassis before he bought it, is there any problems it this can cause?
Also how I check if its an original CSW (its got the correct windows) and does it matter.
Its all original spec. full test 70k no O/D or unleaded head but FWH,I only wanted to spend a grand but if it stacks up does it sound worth £1400?

You'll be buying a heap of trouble, be prepared to do some work, there is no such thing as a perfect bargain series 3 (perhaps I should have listend to advice)
I only wanted to spend a max of £1500, but spent £2000 and there is a fair amount of welding to be done for the long term, though I have decided I'm not really that bothered about the underfloor ventillation.
It was not until I really got going with a hammer and a screwdriver that I found out all the tricks you can get up to with filler and putty.
However I am glad I did make the purchase in the end, because she is what I wanted, a scruffy land rover, no-one self respecting thief is going to look twice at, and for which I am not going to care about the odd bit of parking damage.
