Well, she looks like a "well used", but loved 90, who is now going to receive some well deserved "T.L.C.".
I am looking forward to following your progress. Great Pictures. Thanks, Pickles. |

Looks great, lots of work! I did the same to mine!
Where abouts in Cheshire are you? I'm damn sure I've seen that 90 before! An engine to TDi for! "Land Rover- Proudly turning drivers into mechanics since 1948" |

Jimbob7 - Thanks those wheels are cool, a proper porn star pink!
Gum97 - You've probably seen us round chester, she's been off the road for a few months, cleaning all the parts has taken ages! Can't wait till she's done Theorangebandit - Other half's got his own garage so I nicked the space before he filled it with another car, I'd be a real struggle if we didn't have the space to put all the bits Lou sparts - Yeah was going to sell it but think the OH now wants it to do another build..... Like he has time A word to the wise isn’t necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice. Between the two evils I always pick the one I never tried before. |
