Photos of 06109135

[Jonesy1972]

Following are some photos of the S1 I bought recently and will be the restoration project for the next .........? years.

Chassis No: 06109135
Engine No: 111808209 (current engine) 06109359 (dispatched engine)
Gearbox No: 06109362
Rear axle No: 06114951

It didn't have a rear axle fitted when I bought it so I have fitted the old 2" water pipe axle, which explains why it is on an odd angle (plus the spare Disco wheel)

I will start to strip it down tomorrow.

You've got your work cut out for you there Jonesy. That'll keep you quiet for a while. Be sure to keep us posted with plenty of photo's as you progress, and I'll try and get along for a look in person when I'm up your way next.
Cheers

it needs heaps of work but in saying that it is all there and there are even some of the hard to get(and expensive) parts there so really I think your main issue will be the cosmetics so if I was you I would just keep an eye out and see what panels or even a donor vehicle pop up

If there are any donor 80"s lying around I happily take them off your hands or swap for parts off a 107".

Took the "farm made" galvanised cab and roof rack off yesterday and had a general tidy up (thanks to my kids for sweeping it out). But spent most of the time making a racking/shelving system for the panels and parts.

What is the best way to clean up the corrosion and marks on name plates without damaging the paint?

[Jonesy1972]

Another day in the shed trying to undo rusted, seized, bolts with little to no bolt head or nut left. On the positive note, I have been teaching my young fella a heap of new skills, like swearing and cursing until something gives and he is very impressed how well that works.

Can anyone give some tops on how to remove the foot pedals from their stalks?

[Landy Smurf]

looking good.
I just left the pedals on the stalks.
I hate the rusted nut and bolt crap on these guys if you are lucky and they are really rusted they will snap

How did you get the floor panel out? It appears they have to slide over the pedal stalks.

I just did it the other day on an 86' and lifted the whole floor and tunnel off in one go but you need to take the stalk off from underneath by splitting it open you should see what I mean

[Landy Smurf]

here is what I mean

Thanks Landy Smurf. I haven't ventured under this area because every time I do rust flakes from the firewall shower me.
I'll give it ago tomorrow.

Hi Jonesy
If the bolt head is there I would look at hitting where the thread is on the pedal arm with heat a few times then lots of Inox or Lanox and avoid snapping the bolt off unless you want to drill the thread out and put a bolt through and clamp it that way.
The cast arm usually survives quite well considering and also are slightly different from the later Series 1 models.
Best of luck and good to see another 50 on its way back to life:D

Buy your self a can of CRC Freeze Off or the Locktite equavalent it works wonders on frozen bolts & shafts. . Just spray the bolt or shaft you want to remove give it a minute or two then try to undo. The evaporation of the spray shrinks the bolt. Wayne

[Jonesy1972]

A squirt of CRC each day for a week seemed to work. I didn't break or shear off anything, except the usual skin off the knuckles.

The freeze off works faster than a week only about 60 sec & no skin off i've found. Wayne
