also half way through the engine pictures what is the thing that is unplugged  there is a close up photo

no boot lock or way to open
guages dont work
roof leaking
random wiring on dash and engine bay
random switch on dash
door handles loose
plastic strip missing on exterior
engine missing due to damp leeds
no parcel shelf
bearings on rear wheels excessive play
i had to put clocks in as it didnt have any
glove box not working/sitting straight
more random wiring in engine by lights
something unplugged on engine
taking its a water pipe on right side of block leaking and corroded
water coming out of expansion bottle
drivers door rubs front arch when opened or closed
rear passenger window winder missing
weather strips on both doors missing
gear selector has to much play
swimming pool in rear  was this a expensive extra lol

but the body work is ok ish lol

looks like it can be made into a nice ride though mate

where are you? I've got a spare tailgate…

and looks like most things are unplugged in the engine bay?

depends on how much work you're looking to do here, but if you have the time and space, whack the engine out and put it all back in cleaning up/replacing as you go.

I don't think I could do that, as I have a lack of skills and tools, but if you got time and skills, then you'll know everything is tiptop.

If you haven't yet got one, spend your next ?20 on a haynes manual, that is the best advice i ever gave right there.

good luck!

ok guys

my roof is leaking very bad in the top right hand corner where it latches down, what should i be looking for

That'll probably be the foam gasket between the frame and the rubber seal. Unscrew, replace and job done.

If you're after a Manual, drop me your address and I'll see what I can do.
