I had a few questions about the capstan winch. To confirm it is missing the drive shaft so does not work now. This part is rare and has value on its own. To see how they work search on youtube to see how it works.
To confirm again there is very little rust or aluminum corrosion. There is small hole about 1/2" diameter between drivers side bulk head and where the floor joins. That is all I have found.
There are new steering ball joints fitted
Fuel tank has been replaced not sure when. New electric fuel pump fitted recently with hidden cut off switch.
With the conversion to negative ground fuel gauge reads in reverse E now stand for enough and F stands for Fumes :) A careful hand could modify the E and F.
If I think of any more things I will add them
I have lots of pictures which shows a lot about the Landy, let me know if you need more?
This is a very honest Landy and will make a good project or use it as is right now. I drive it regularly with no problems lots of fun to drive.
I will try and answer all questions. Willing to help with transportation, I live very close to the USA / Montana border in Alberta.
Shipping to the USA is very straightforward easy to do yourself or arrange a shipping company to do the work.
