I wish I could find some wood, I have a shed to build! (then I'll be looking for firewood for the stove in winter)
And before anyone asks, yes of course you can put a stove in a wooden shed, you just have to not be an imbecile...

Very nice. What are your plans for it?
Fix everything thats broken (brakes, windows), tidy it up a few places and keep it fairly original then use it as my daily and for the odd foray off road green laning. 14mpg on a good day, but glorious v8 engine note to make up for it + I have a lpg kit in the shed off a range rover ready to ease the pain.
We do 7 cord in winter total as its our only heating source but we burn beech and hardwoods in a inverted flame furnace.

In my time, the 1 Ton landy was the fastest vehicle in the British Army, I once drove from Colchester to Otterburn in one (and back) and thoroughly enjoyed the whole journey.

This, although I've been hunting one for quite a while, finally my plans came good.
What is it?

It's a Land Rover 101 forward control.

If you're plotting on off-roading the old girl you might want to load up on 105 shells first, they don't really perform off-road until they have a bit of weight on. Aside from that I'm incredibly jealous, I'm trying to convince Mrs dan to get an ambi at the moment! Has yours got the nokken belly winch?
no winch fitted yet, the nokken is a brilliant piece of kit though the way it can come out the front or rear, I can replicate the roller fairlead for it and linkage levers are avilable from the 101 club when I find one or a similar capstain winch that can be mid mounted.
I was thinking that and a locking diff for the rear to stop it getting cross axled when mrs f recovers from me spending out on a "old rusty heap" and I've placated her by selling my 90td. First I have to get it registered and legal here and I think the range rover high ratio transfer gears or a lt95 overdrive, then fix the basic problems while keeping a lazy watching eye on for sale ads like y'do when your tight like me.

You'll pay over a grand for a complete nokken nowadays! But I agree they are a phenomenal bit of kit. I'd put a winch tray on the front and just get a leccy job, I can't honestly say I've ever had to winch myself backwards

I remember being unable to get up a small hill on a road near Aldershot in one of those, we had to get out and push, i think it might have been "tired" and due for the scrappy. The engine was miniscule, like a Morris Minor !

Definitely wasn't a 1 tonner then, it had a Rover V8 sitting between the driver and passenger.

Just got myself this nice little bench shear:
@MattF, @CwazyWabbit can you shed any light on these old besets?
