Pristine 1980 land rover series ii model 109. Body was in perfect shape, interior was just re-done and other than the original inline 4 motor that had nooverdrive, my wife and i bought it in oregon and drove it 2500 miles south down coast highway to california. Thinking i was going to keep it 100% stock as most rover fanatics would like to see it, i decided to go fullretro-mod on it. We kept the all aluminum frame and the pristine body in tack, everything else in the undercarriage and drive-trainhad to go. We put in a trusty create gm performance 5. 3l v8 engine (not a junk yard re-build, a brand new motor), turbo 400transmission hooked to an atlas 2-speed transmission. 3 link custom long arm suspension in the front and 4 link custom long arm suspension in the rear all controlled byfox 2. 0 remote reservoir coil over shocks with adjustable bump stops. Dana 44 axles were swapped in that have 4. 10 gearing, electronic lockers, high performance axles and all gussetedto ensure there are no bends or breaks out on the trails. Sway bars front and rear keep this top heavy vehicle in check both on the road as well as off, and the stouthydraulic steering assist from psc turns the falken wildpeak a/t 35x12. 50r17 tires(wrapped on the aev matte black wheels) with ease. Je reel custom drive shafts, custom skid plates , custom enginebrace, custom oversized aluminum radiator, heavy duty agm battery,and a multitude of throughout the undercarriage finish out the engine and drive-train mods. The original gaugesindicate almost 50k on the vehicle, but all the modifications were done at 46,780. So less than 4000 miles are on the wear and tear. That "only 4k on the wear and tear" also includes the paint. A fresh "triple deep black" paint from ppg was sprayedjust before all the mods to the vehicle took place. Paint along with 90% of all the tubular accessories on the vehicle had a fresh coat of paint or powder coat put onthem. Interior was modified to accept the automatic transmission with a speedshift shifter as well as the vintage air airconditioning unit. Yes, there are little items like the dash that could be re-covered due to minor tears in it, but that along withother mods to the new owner can be done easily at any interior shop. This rover was built right with no expense spared. From the vintage and top of the line warn m8274 to the amazingheadlights from jw speaker,the list of added accessories and custom work on this vehicle doesn't stop. Not only does it look perfect, itdrives and more importantly works fantastic out on the trails where it was meant to be. Shown on one of the images, it comes with a roof top tent (also in perfect shape). This 1980 land rover series ii model109 is perfect. Plus, it is priced well below other "defenders"out there with half the whistles and bells that this beauty has.
