What have I gotten myself into here?

For some reason I just bought this 1972 Land Rover. I don't really know a lot about these things but I have always loved the way they look. It has not been on the road in almost 30 years! It should be a fun adventure.

Seems like we both are in a world of rusty bolts for some time. Congratulations!! Enjoy the ride.

Interesting rig and project, early S3. Is that Right hand rear wheel broken? Rim seems to be detached in the picture. I am sure there will be plenty of advice available if you have issues .

Yes, the right rear wheel is rusted through and twisted apart. I am no stranger to old cars, I have a VW/Audi shop here in upstate NY. I am looking forward to getting into this project.
