FridgeFreezer Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If it's as good as it looks I'd say it's a good price, but I'd worry that it's almost too nice for the money. I'm very wary of anything "fully rebuilt", it's a phrase that rarely means what it should. At that age, I'd be on the lookout for shiny paint & chequerplate hiding filler in a rusty bulkhead, crusty doors/sills, smart carpets and trim hiding hiding years of abuse, and waxoyl hiding rust in the chassis.

Maverik Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just a few things i'd consider... 1991 - 300tdi??? it must have had an engine transplant sometime, also no wing air intake vents, possibly suggesting it was a N/A once in its life...? or it had the wing replaced and it sucks its air in from under the bonnet... I'd be a little wary with this, for a truck with that potential age... the bulkhead could have some very convincing repairs until you look a bit closer. Also for a 1990/91 I'd expect it to have had a 2.5ltr Diesel Turbo... Just some thoughts after falling into a rather deep pit from funnily enough a pistonheads purchase.

sgnas Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It is a 20 year old truck. It's a lot of money for a 20 year old truck. It looks great in the pictures and it seems to have had a fair bit of work into it. If it really has had that amount of work done , then it has been a labour of love. 'Cos at that price he isn't making any money on it. A friend rebuilt his 1990 110csw a few years back. Galv chassis, 300tdi conversion, ashcroft gearbox exchange, new doors all round, new bulkhead, full paint, alloys etc. Total cost ~£9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkydave Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Looks alot nice than my DC conversion!! Yup, alot of work gone into that but at the end of the day it's still overpriced for a 20 year old motor. Someone will buy it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Looks mint doesn't it? I'd be very careful. Ask for pictures of the "full chassis up rebuild" and go over it with a fine tooth comb. Only 42k miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinkydave Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 My 92 N/A only had 46k on when i got it 3 years ago. Although it was ex MOD then went to a safari park so probably didn't do too many miles per year. Unusual but not unheard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
