Hey ya’ll,
Trying to build up my following on IG. I post mostly Land Rovers and some personal cars I’ve owned throughout my life. I also sell a couple every once in a while. I think ya would dig it. Check out my page @grampsgarage

My son's LR3 has that - nice engine. And it has an amazing cooling system that can crawl around in low gears in the heat, and a crazy deep oil sump so the thing has full oil pressure at 45º + angles.

Cool! That looks like a Jaguar-based motor...not the Rover / Pontiac V8...?

Yeah 2005+ they went all Jag engine. I hear great things about them though. Jag had the engines sorted after 2000/1 (IIRC, timing guide issues), and of course the Rv8 had been exhausted well before then.

I'd love to get my hands on a LR3 in the future....but for now I'll stick with building my hot rod.

Can't wait to get my "Defender" together...

I like where this is going....

[slammin.e28]

I like the station wagon body, and more usable.

I forget, did you already talk about this?... Are you lengthening the frame to fit the 100" body?

Nope, it's a LWB Classic frame, so it's very close. IIRC I just need the rear crossmember from a Series truck and I'll be golden. Set that, pop in the rear tub and then everything falls in from there.

Bulkhead on this one is pretttty bad....could use a new one honestly, but I'mm roll with this one while I do my metal work and trans tunnel clearance work...fuck I said too much....

It's gonna be a blast.

Got a line on another 109....5-door....

>EDIT> ....I said that backwards, didn't I? "Lengthening the frame to fit the 109" body." But it sounds like they're pretty close!
