AHughes Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Good morning, I have just completed a 5 year (yes 5 year) body off resto. on my 1987 90 (19J engine). It took a bit longer than expected but got there! I am now rather keen (once bitten..still not shy!) on a 110 as it would suit my need a little better (family etc) and so I am asking a little advice on potential value as I don't have too much of a clue and don't want to fall into the classic trap of "well I put my heart and soul into so its worth £0000000000's". Details: 1987 2.5td hardtop: 155,000 on clock, body off full nut and bolt resto. Chassis: new rear cross member with extensions fully blasted, 3 plates on entire chassis needed so totally solid, primed and painted in KBX 3 part system. Body: newer rear tub fitted, undertub struts removed and entire thing stripped, straightened, etch primed, sealed underneath, side panels stripped etch primed, door bottoms replaced, stripped, etch primed, roof (smooth with sun roof from later 90) stripped, all joins sealed. new rear door (no spare wheel mount), all new hinges all round, all new stainless bolts all round, all glazing and body rubber is new as are all door seals, new front screen, full headlining, ply lined and insulated rear, bonnet from later model with soundproofing underneath, new bonnet release mechanism, new wiper mounts and blades and arms, new mirrors and arms, jackable sills, 3mm black chequer plate on wings and rear corners. Full respray in coach enamel tamar blue. Footwells replaced, battery box replaced. ALL panels joined with new fixings, isolated with either correct seals or sealant, D bar on front and new front bumper. ALL NEW headlight surrounds and grille, all fixing stainless steel Running Gear: ALL new dampers and coils, full polybush yellow kit, all new suspension bolt kit, new bumpstops, new coil retention plates, new axle and hub seals, front and rear output seals on transfer done, input and output shaft selas between gearbox and transfer box done, all fluids replaced and done 10 miles, new HD clutch, bearing and arm kit, shifter yoke replaced. Braking: New front calipers, ALL new piping throughout, new front discs and pads, new rear cylinders and shoes, new handbrake shoes and springs, new fluid. Engine: Full service and new filters and fluid, replaced front and rear crankshaft oil seals, new water pump, new starter motor, new crankshaft pulley, new timing kit, fully rebuilt heater (now hot in cab!!), new viscous unit, new fan, new belts throughout, ALL breathers raised and brought to a manifold ready for a raised air intake, runs as sweet as a nut so strongly suspect its had major work before I got it. Electrical: fuse boxes changed from glass to blade type, ALL new lights throughout (inc halogen main conversion from sealed), new headlamp bowls, ALL working like new (inc fog and reverse!!) Interior: SAMS trim seat reupholstered and new foam (2 seats) in black and PINK!! vinyl ( I know!!), mountney boss and 14" wheel (running nicely after lathing boss to fit properly)all new knobs, full headlining, rear ply and insulated. Wheels: 16" 8 spoke with 265 75 16 wildcat AT with decent tread. I also just before MOT's on Monday (19th Jan 14) replaced all fluids in boxes, engine, new filters (inc gearbox fliter) to make sure. If I have forgotten anything please ask, or if you have a 110 csw/110 crew cab you fancy doing a bit of trading with then let me know!! Advice and guidance much appreciated, Its my first ever project so I would imagine I should have done some things differently! I have included a couple of pics too! cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHughes Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Should add it passed its MOT with no advisories on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The way to find what its worth is put it on ebay with a high reserve (10K) and see how close it gets to it , as its all down to what the buyer reckons at the time not what someone on a landrover forum thinks it is .

Frax Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The way to find what its worth is put it on ebay with a high reserve (10K) and see how close it gets to it , as its all down to what the buyer reckons at the time not what someone on a landrover forum thinks it is . HTSH I would say the same, its only worth what someone will pay for it. Good time of year to sell though so should get a good price. Nice job by the way.

AHughes Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Brilliant and indeed thank you, sounds like a sensible plan, the bay it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Something worth doing too is to advertise in local papers and such aiming for a car auction not far from you, I saw a well advertised 130 sold at Colchester car auctions for well above market price playing that game, your add need be only specs and a link to a webby with comprehensive build list and photos, and tagged "being sold at XYZ auctions on". What you got to loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonovice Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 When you get it up on ebay post a link up (or PM the link to me if the mods prefer), I'm not interested in buying it but I am terribly nosey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
