900 Club Forum

Hi there

New to the forum and fairly new to Land Rover ownership. I don't own a one ton, but I am rebuilding my old 109. It's not going to be one for the rivet counters as I want it to suit my needs and tastes. I thought I would share the rebuild with you chaps as I think a few of you will like it.

The basic brief is for something practical for today's roads, to be as to work the farm, pull a trailer and do the odd gentle green lane trip.

Highlights are a the original chassis rebuilt to one ton spec, original period looking exterior and interior, fuel injected 4 litre V8 with some mild mods, Santana LT85 5 speed box, salisbury axles, Ashcroft part time 4wd/2wd transfer box, P38 power steering and Wild Industries disc brake conversion, topped off with 900x16 wheel and tyre combo.

My question is, in which section could I pop a build thread as its not a real 1 ton?

Here's a taster....

That certainly sounds like an interesting project! Welcome to the forum.

It surely does. Rover V8?

The One Ton section is fine to share your project, or 'Interesting Vehicles' if you should so desire.

Thanks guys. I will get some photos sorted tonight and start a thread next week. There is some catching up as I'm almost two years into the project. It's been some journey. I'm hoping that I'm only 2-3 months off completion.

Sounds cool, welcome to the forum


Ps we love photos

Welcome to the forum
