1980 Land Rover Defender Description

I have decided to sell a truck that I bought to rebuild but I have too many other projects and this truck has sat in the garage for way too long waiting for me. What I have is a solid Left Hand Drive 1986 90 County Station wagon with a 300tdi and R380. As you can see from the pics there is existing damage to the left rear corner of the tub and crossmember. Prior owner apparently backed into something but I don't know the full story. Only crossmember damage is to the outer portion beyond the frame rail and could easily be pushed back with a high lift, not major at all. The tub however is tweaked on the driver side and pushed in along with the rear tub section being mangled. Good News is I have a NAS 90 tub that comes with the truck that hasall the needed pieces to repair the damage. Truck runs and drives like it is with no rubbing but the exhaust is knocked loose and rattles.
Truck is a 1986 not 1980 as eBay shows. This truck runs like a top, cranksfirst turn of the key even after sitting for weeks untouched, no rattles, smoke or anything and pulls very strong. Comes with a brand new set of Rock Sliders and Five Bar Load area liner kit as well. Please contact me with questions or if you would like more pics! 3-5K in body work and paint and this truck would easily bring 35k or more, I just don't have the time but its a money maker for someone who does...
Pros: 300tdi, R380, original SW with great headliner, new Nitto tires andZu alloys, complete interior with good seats, good Bulkhead, body and paint really good minus damaged area, LHD!!
Cons: Tub obviously,Clutch is Slipping(driveable but should be done), Door bottoms rusted but repairable, rear door rust on skin and bottom, One spot on the frame rusted and needs repair (isolated)
