This is an ambitious project. The dream of many rover enthusiasts will be realized right here at Pangolin4x4. We will be building a series 3 109 pickup entirely from new components. New frame, new firewall, new body, new engine, new transmission . . . you get the idea. There is no "donor car" all the fittings and parts which you would normally reuse on a restoration are new. A unique project you wont see being built at other shops.

Here you can se the rolling chassis built onto a new genuine land rover parts frame. |
NOS axles, new suspension. If you see it, its new.
|
New transmission with the latest series rover casting, new driveshafts. |
NOS 2.25L 4 cylinder. |
This is the new old stock 109 tub which will be fitted. It has never been used on a vehicle and is a complete replacement unit from an old dealership. A really rare peice. |
Here you can see the factory tire mount still wrapped in cosmoline from the factory. |
Fuel filler assembly, comprised of 15 seperate NOS components all which had to be located seperately. Complete with genuine hose clamps |
From the outside, correct 3 prong cap. |
NOS fuel tank, complete with new pickup tube, sending unit, foam buffer and hardware. The genuine had to be welded on as saddle tanks were an option for series 3 109s, most had rear tanks. Since we have an early NOS tube, it needed to recieve the saddle tank. |
NOS rad panel, NOS apron, sterring arms relay, radiator tie rod ends etc. |
More vintage goodies, NOS latch, electrical warning plate and other details |
Complete NOS 4wd linkage down to the anti rattle spring |
As we start to get the firewall built up for the installation of the dash and controls, the firewall is getting all new genuine inserts so that everything fits corrfectly |
Genuine hood buffers can be hard to come by. |
