Summat seems odd about this, well, the piccie really.  Windscreen
seems to have something over it - and there are no windscreen wipers.

Yeah I spotted that too, most odd... perhaphs it a interplanitary moon rover
prototype, no rain and all that.

I'd suspect it's an old piccy, otherwise I'd have to become
suspicious....owwwhhh sod it.. now I'm just suspicious!

reply from the seller about the windscreen:

"Windscreen is brand new - just had dust on it when the photo was taken;
yes, there are two wipers!"

very steep.  Mind, it has (allegedly) got a 3.9 in it.

That reserve alone seems too high, sure, it might make it, but its a
pretty high hurdle.

quite.  now if it were a radbod, or even an ambi...

but GSs are not making that kind of money generally unless it's much better
than the picture shows.

It does have a good spec engine and new canvas.

how does he get high-ratio final drive, I wonder?  And will the gearbox take
the power that the engine, if decent, should put out?

Common mod.  Change the transfer box gearing to the high ratio.
Simple enough job, pull the intermediate shaft out a little, drop the
existing gear off, replace with the high ratio, replace intermediate
shaft.

Course, it's always easy when you go a tool known as 'Warren' ;-)

I'm still trying to get rid of feathers from my mouth from the last time I
let some ***k** loose with spanners on one of my fleet. Which reminds me I
must sort that blowing manifold out.....again..... (myself!).
