Hi esteemed team,
I'm looking hard at another Landy to add to the fold and need some experienced eyes please.
It's a 1994 registered Land Rover (Tithonus ex-MOD) Defender 110 TDi 300. I understand the history of the Tithonus, It looks just the job for the work we have in mind for it up here in the frozen north that the 90 300TDi can't quite carry off.
I've a bunch of pics and there are one or two rusty bits. Are they expensive rusty bits needing replacement or could I clean them up and add a lick of rust converter ? What might bite me in the proverbial?
I'm still an inexperienced Landy owner don't forget! For sure I'll be taking her for a run and trying to wiggle all the bits that shouldn't and making sure those that should, do and I'll be listening to all those noises to detect if anything is rattling in an unfriendly manner! I'm OK for getting her up on the stands and doing stuff, I have all the books but a bit Nato Green behind the ears
The pictures are here https://photos.app.goo.gl/1RDV4URdJL5V9y9b8 would you mind taking a look please and adding your thoughts?
Thanks in advance
