Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 FFS Rob you don't learn do you ? I think you need help nearly as badly as I do THAT should keep you well and truly quiet for a (long) While Nige PS (You Muppet - wasn't the 109 enough for you ? ) PPS (Are you entering a new 'forum comp' - the 'Vapour Rebuild' ) PPPS Only kidding, I lov 101s - but I do think you are "affected" in a severe way with LRs needing TLC of the extreme kind looking forward to a huge and long thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well done Rob One heck of a challenge and I'll look forward to seeing the build thread. If it turns out only half as nice as you're 109 it would still be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 cheers guys the chassis was so good, and after dragging it out into the open the swivel chromes look so clean, it would have been criminal to have left it where it was! I think my first modification will be an LPG kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Looks like a very nice project, just one question though... just how many bottles of tipex exlpoded on it/around it? Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Crikey Rob, you like a challenge don't you! Good man for saving it though, 101's are cool as. And good man for thinking of LPG rather than a blummin' diseasal. I've got a nice set of 37" Michelin XZL's here that'd go lovely on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101nut Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Project? May I suggest that before you start you put a swear box in the shed ... by the time you've finished you'll have collected enough to have paid for it! AndyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timpo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just put the deposit down on a 101 Ambulance, been sat around for a few years after the fuel pump gave up the ghostNow the long slog starts to get it road worthy Hi Minivin. Just goes to show that there are a few 101s still out there in need of some (or more) TLC. Best of luck. Timpo. I'm trying to locate a 101 project myself......

Is it a bad paint job, tipex or guano? cheers all Nah, some person of limited thought capacity thought it would be a good idea to put a rare vehicle in a paint balling site as a prop, even though it was only the fuel pump that had packed-up....... and then there was the three lightweights we also picked up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
