OnCourse’s Training 4x4s: Landrover 109 (blue) Rebuild

Published May 27, 2014 By Mick Farmer

We saved this Landrover 109 from being turned into several large aluminium serving sufrias (pans). Luckily we don’t really suffer from much rust, so the rebuilds tend to be a little easier.  Just takes us longer to get in parts. Once we finished, it went from a 2.25 petrol engine to a V8. And had a few extras fitted,

  • V8 gearbox /transfer box.
  • Converted to disc brakes.
  • Parabolic springs.
  • Cut-off switch, etc.
  • V8 4 barrel carb conversion kit (includes K+N Air Filter).
  • Optima battery.

I started to take the photos a little late so don’t have a proper “before photo”; but this should give you an idea.
