LandRovers

This was Cedric my 1st buy and lemon a word of advice when buying an old LandRover take someone who knows what to look for unlike myself at the time. A very expensive lesson learned.
Meet Mongo, a fine steed but unfortunatley the chassis has snapped and now the engine will go into Orca
This is Orca a kind gift from Mr Tom Wigley of Welcome to Wiggers World Fame My Landrover's chassis broke and Tom's engine did the same so i will create a good one from the two
