New stage one owner in lancashire

Post by redtailhawk »

Hi
had the stage 1 for two weeks now.
I got it off Ebay,it came with some spares as well it had been unused for four years , it is a 81 station wagon and is white.It runs ok, had half of anew exhaust system on but have put rest of new system on as old part was blowing
I have decided to start underneath and work my way up.
From inspecting it the chassis as just surface rust,but on going around with toffee hammer four of the outrigger need changing. At some point in time it as had a new rear cross member.
New rear tank required,junked the old one was leaking.
panel wise all very straight,
some of the doors have usual rust problems
I have already change two outriggers and plan to do the others soon
Bulkhead needs some work but the rest of the vehicle seems ok
no doubt other things will need doing as i work my way over it

Yeah it was the one from Scotland and it does look good in the pictures
but it had been stood in very damp conditions for four years so it needs some work doing to it.

Let's try this

The first few pictures are very large and probably will not display well, but here is a link to your photo bucket: http://s413.photobucket.com/albums/pp211/redtailhawk5/
