Land Rover 101 (forward Control)

[lakshank]

Yes machan...Its going to stand up with coils hence had a Defender Chasis from an ex-army.

The one which is on the vehicle is not usable.absolutly no hope. can break with fingers.

This vehicle had been used to transport Prawns sometime back from the boats and how they have used to load prawns into the vehicle is sad to hear..

Met the Guy who happended to be the driver of this in 199ies @ G**a isso farm. He said that they reverse the lorry into the lagoon so that they could easily load the stuff. That single act has caused the chasis to decay so badly.

I have seen S2s S3s which are older than this having better chasis than this.

***

The fire engine is no more a fire engine machan. It was resprayed in blue to get the colour changed in the logbook. its going to be on the road very soon. infact before the forward control as its much of a straight forward job.

as with the foward control the biggest challenge is to setup the gearing mechanism + suspension change.
