Howdy everyone, my name is Garry, I have a 101, second I've had, the first was in the early 90's and this one was bought, off Gumtree, as a non running project car, it;s the ex- Brad Smith car. The old girl had sat in an open carport in Newcastle for 17 or 18 years and the elements weren't kind to her. When I finally woke her up after a further 4 years the engine died, I went chasing rebuild parts, it was a Leyland 4.4, mains weren't available, cam was cactus, rings were broken, pretty sure the transfer case had major dramas.... coming out of a roundabout, one Friday arvo about 4pm everything locked solid, the surrounding traffic weren't understanding voicing their disapproval saying some very rude things. Please don't hate me.... after previously living with a 101 as daily transport for 4 years I decided to update and modify my car. she now has a Defender 300TDI front axle, 110 drum brake rear axle, Perentie LT95 with the 101 bellhousing. The biggest change is the engine...an EFI Ford Windsor, an AU3 Tickford 220kw. The car is now 12v, with a mostly new wiring loom. All parts removed from the car have been kept and stored so if anyone could prise the car from my cold dead hands they could totally restore 96200041A, 29-421. With the car I got a spare set of doors, which I suspect were the originals as the ones on her at present are notated with NATO supply numbers. on the other drivers door is a marking, in black, a missle with crossed swords and 110 below, significance? Currently parts are glossy olive drab but most is sun bleached. I'd like to repaint her because so much has lifted off. Sorry about the jumbled mess besides being a work hermit I'm also a bit of a computer muppet. I'll stop rambling now, cheers.
