Bought his last easter when I was on the hunt for an engine for the 110 I was hoping to finish rebuilding (but never did).

1996 300 tdi 90 hardtop, one owner before us and a genuine 250 odd thousand miles on it when we got it. I took a bit of a gamble as I'd not heard it run due to an immobiliser fault but enough people local that I trusted knew it wquite well and it was a good price. An hour with the side cutters and a BIG pile of useless wire and bits had it running lovely.

Spent a few weeks doing little bits to it to get it MOT ready and then we took if fro a shakedown trip round the Highlands.

I hadn't really intended keeping it as a whole but we both really like it and the fact it's so unmolested it seemed a shame to even consider taking its engine and associated bits so it looks like it's here to stay.

I'm not normally one for naming vehicles but SWMBO kept calling it Mr Happy due to part of the reg number and it's kinda stuck!

Here's a before shot and one in it's current guise.[img][/img]

nice 90,what wheels have you on i

nice motor have you usedthe Oz tent yet and if so what do you think,

we have an RV4 only 2 of us but health makes it easier to use with camp beds.

look like 8 spokes or modulars?

Yep, plain old rusty 8 spokes - thinking might go down the wolf rim route this year but will have to see what comes along

We get on well with the Oztent - we've been using them ofr around 2 years or so now and it suits what we do most of the time. Ours is an RV 2 though so is a little mor efragile on the hinges but on the whole well pleased and we can be all set up and in bed within a couple of minutes of parking up
