yes - coil.

I "cheated" and had someone else do the work for me while I was living in Japan:

I have seen that build, nice.
That was one of the trucks that got my wheels spinning.
So you are on a 110 frame? I ask because I am curious if the rearwheel position change much. Thanks again

[Blueboy]

thx and yes, it is a 110 frame

rear wheel position is slightly ahead (closer to the front) than I think is 100% although you can't really notice it.

let me know if you have any other questions on which I can help.

well I was investigating going with a new 109 frame. Called Richards, Marsland and designa and none are making 109 frames. (unless I misunderstood them) They said they had no demand.

So I guess I am using the 110 frame I found locally.

Anyone have a few shots of a poppy red '67. That was my original color and thinking I will go back to that

Anyone going to need a Nada rolling chassis with the original engine in place???? What's a fair price to ask?
Update:Richards does still make 109 chassis, I was mistaken....

Greetings from sunny Florida.
I too, have been bitten, and alas, there seems to be no cure! This is my fourth Rover and the most challenging. The first one was a Jan. '71-88 SW purchased in '82. When starter went south started looking for local parts and found a Feb. '71 88 SW at the local yard which had been totaled by Allstate (submerged in local river-- : - [ ) and purchased starter and all. Then a friend at work said he had an old Land Rover for sale. Went to look and found a '65 88 SW and had to have that one too (Came with original manuals--Good find). Kept them for many years until two brothers wore me down and I sold all three. Then without a Rover for about 3 years till a friend? at work told me he had seen an old Land Rover close by. Went to look--then took the wife and children--then made a deal --and fell for it again. This time I found out I had something different. A 109 NADA # 34300044. Then the fun began--Learning from scratch that everyone doesn't know everything about my latest acquisition, but some know some things--so I started compiling the list of peculiarities. I've had "Bodger" for 8 years and still going strong. It has the original engine #34300054 and I rebuilt it the first year after a six month search for parts and pieces (new/old set of .30 over pistons, etc.). Just recently have added a Mile Marker 12K winch with brush bar/winch plate assy(a good friend made the unit for me). The progression of NADA Knowledge has been challenging -- ranging from frustration to elation. If I knew then what I know now I'd still have to have it. It's been a great daily driver and I'll probably keep it for quite a while to come. More on the rebuild progression later. Thanks for letting me in.
