One of my current LJ's

Post by juncopartner » Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:29 pm

Thought I'd show you one of my current LJ's. I can't even see the other one its in another shed but its hidden by sheets of ply!!!!
I'll keep posting photos as I drag more of it out of the various sheds/lock ups.
Would have done it today but had to fit clutch, oil seals to my Morris Minor today.

The axles, not using all of them, otherwise it would be a 10x10!!!  Just the 2 nicely painted ones.  Theres a few 1 litre engines in there as well somewhere under all the craop.

Well I wasn't going to spend too much time putting it on the road getting into mint condition cos I was going to abuse it off road but now I've seen an LJ go for £2150 on E bay thats a bit tatty with no MOT, I might have to do a better job now!!!

To think I once bought 3 in one day including a tidyish one with T & T all for £400!!!!!

Another 2 I got given, bought at least 3 others for less than £100, don't think I ever paid more than £400 for one.

Oh how times have changed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I thought I'd post something on the LJ bit Seeing as theres not been much on it of late.

Thought I'd update this bit.

The Morris Minor has sold at last and has gone to Bournmouth, so I now have space in the garage for the LJ rebuild at last. Only problem now is I may be buying another LJ ragtop!!!! That'll be the 13th one!!! Problem I will then have is, I have no electric at the lockup to do the welding to it and it will take the space for the other ones reassembly which just requires putting back together.

another one??? What's it like? Sounds good! Well if you want someone to look after all of the parts of one of the others so you have space to do it I'm sure something can be arranged ;) :lol:
