Title: Series Project Wanted
Post by: Madpiper on November 09, 2022, 10:37 AM
Hi,


I'm currently looking for a Series 2 or 3 Project; ideally a five door, or at least 109, and complete would be a plus, but will entertain others.  PM me if you have something available, I'm in the Calgary area, but will travel for the right project.  Thanks!

There is this one, tad pricey but it looks to be in good shape

Ouch. That's mine. You're right, I'm not giving it away, but it's a complete driving truck that I've been using for years. There are a lot folks out there asking $10k+ for half finished projects.

If you're interested, talk to me, there's some wiggle room in the price. I could use the garage space and I hasn't been driven much since I got my Defender.

It's on facebook marketplace Bill.
If you click on the link, it will take you there.

I would buy it if I were in the market for another Series truck.
Photos of the back might help sell it Speedy.

Yeah, I haven't put the effort into selling it I normally would. I wrecked my shoulder and broke my pelvis at the end of August, I've only been out of the wheelchair for a few weeks.

It really is an interesting truck, it's just not going to suit many buyers with all the period mods. I think most folks want something a bit more Instagram friendly.

Thanks to all who've replied, I was able to source a 109 project quite close to home.  I'm looking forward to participating more with the group here!

I'm tentatively picking it up next Wed, I can post some pics then.  It's a 1968 Series 2a 109; I'm looking forward to getting started on it!

This is the '68 Series 2a 109 that followed me home.  Thanks again to djansmith for getting me started! I'm considering posting my progress to a thread here, where is an appropriate spot?
