What I did for the weekend

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

What I did for the weekend

Post by ROBBIE » Sun Jun 12, 2016 6:44 pm

So on Saturday morning we hired a waggon and headed north. Was raining when we got up there so only got one thing

Wasn't so easy to get it of the truck as it was to get on there, one farmer and tractor later and it was all tucked in a corner. So now I'm the happy owner of an LJ80. Will get more pics when I get some time and start to go through what it needs doing

The first thing to do is get it registered in th UK, or find out if it can be done without costing an arm an a leg. Then make it look good, not an off road monster :hahaha:

To get it registered is a bit of a mare but cheap (ish). You'll need a NOVA certificate (notification of vehicle arrival) then it needs to be MOT'd! Then you can apply for a number plate and tax it at the same time. So best get the old girl fettled before worrying about registration.

And nice buy matey, welcome to the LJ club lol.

Awesome Robbie, you should had said, whilst you were in my neck of the wood, I could have called around and helped! Any way I'm glad it's gone to a good home,
