my first series 2a

[keith73]

Something new to put my hard earned cash into.Chassis no. 2531617c.
The main things need doing new door seals,window channels(it rattles like hell),get rid of the holden carby and find a tail gate for it.
The good bits great engine,stays in a straight line better then my defender, only service rust on the footwall and door tops nothing on the chassis.

Nice purchase Keith, I dig the safari truck cab!

Land Vehicle Spares would have a tailgate to suit, but probably won't be the right colour. They might have a carby as well, if not Gary CLR has new ones at a decent price.

Is it a 2.25?

Just an update on the 2a.Ive replaced all the window channels and started replacing the door seals,just by replacing the window channels it stopped most off the rattles:).
Today i finally replaced the stromberg with the solex at the same time got rid of the very noisy electric fuel pump.Also replaced the starter motor today.After all that it started first go for the first time,normally takes 3 or 4 goes.:) and hoping for better fuel economy.I just need too adjust the doors (sitting too low),any ideas?

This is the result from previous owners not checking the oil in the wheel bearings whats left off them.
