Kioti help on my Land Rover project

When it's man vs car a loader helps. Got all the body parts off the old chassis. It's getting a new galvanized one, along with a turbo diesel.

That big hydraulic lift is handy eh? I used my Ck to put the engine in my '68 Chevy Short Step.

I can't imagine what the cost is for a galvanized Land Rover body:shocked:

Best wishes for the successful completion of your project.

I don't mean to ask a dumb question but why put a galvanized body on a Land Rover. Unless there have been some major changes since I owned one, 1960 model, the body was aluminum.

Whereabouts in Maryland? I've done a few frame off restos on Series Rovers myself. PM me if you need a hand.

Just checked your profile. I don't think you need much help, Bill

Have fun - I presume that is a Series 3 Stage 1 - wouldn't want to run one of those V8s this side of the pond!

If you want the actual particulars, here goes:
1966 2A 5 door wagon body ( yes all aluminum )
new: 200 tdi turbo diesel engine, R380 5 speed and LT230 transfer case
Galvanized coil chassis with Range Rover axles. Wolf steel wheels and KM2 tires.
Badger Coachworks interior with Exmoor Trim seating.
Heated seats, windscreen. Air conditioning if I can figure it out.

Nate did you go to Ron's with DB?

Yup. Had a look at his 110 project, but I can't scrape together the money for it.

btw, sounds like you have a really nice project there...

He wants too much for what's really just parts...no title on that thing

How are your wife and kids doing? It's been too long

What kind of tractor do you have?
