Just a quick line as new owner of 153. Picked it up from Stuart on Sunday and drove her straight back home.
Its a reasonabley solid manual with an RPI 4.6 in it. Has got great potential and a list is growing fast for it!
Currently on a set of all terrain tyres and aftermarket wheels they're coming straight off to be replaced by original wheels and Pirelli Scorpions (nice wide ones).
Suspension is going across to 1" lower springs with gas shocks and blue Polybushes (just ordered, hopefully fitting this sat).
Steering is a little interesting a present, may put a twin damper unit on it, ultimately a quick ratio box.
Brakes are rubbish, fluid change and general overhaul coming up ASAP.
Engine is OK, will hopefully dyno at some point but more urgently has a very annoying miss at 2k rpm. Getting a full service etc tomorrow.
Current radio and speakers are a little lacking, much better system going in.
Bodywork wise original front spoiler and fog lamps on ASAP, new bonnet, A pillars, tailgates and paint to follow.
It joins the Kestrel prototype (currently being put back on the road) as well as a couple of Overfinches and various other LR products!!
