Harrison the Series 2A... My land rover

[DogDigger]

Hi everyone
This is my first thread on this forum and I'm relatively new but anyway, this is my Series 2A a family member gave me. Anyway, I'm unsure of the year and it's had a holden 161 red motor put in it and the clutch isn't working so I've only driven it once (around the block in low range first) and I've made a start on cleaning it up so here we go....

This was before cleaning it all up

Err... no idea what that stuff is...

Fuel tank for now is a jerry can as the fuel tank is leaky...

I think Harrison might need a whole new rear end

Partly through cleaning out the tray

Top half of the doors need attention

Partially through cleaning the interiour

Found this under the seat... I doubt this landy is ex military or anything but this was interesting

Making sure I don't loose anything

Looking alright... This marks the end of the first day cleaning up

Starting ripping out all the carpet and wood... It was horrible. Had some help from a friend

After that was all done... this was the result:

Anyway, it still has a lot of things that require attention on it. Since the budget is $500, it's probably not going on the road unfortunately (but maybe in the future)
Pretty much all the electrics besides the engine itself aren't working and the wiring looks like a mess and since a lot of it was put in by the PO, it's just random colours so that will be fun :D. I'm pretty sure it was originally negative ground but anyway.... That's it for now

Welcome to the forum mate:) Looks like fun. Just a guess but I would say circa 1968 looking at the wipers and steering wheel. Hard to tell some times. Keep the pics coming.

Welcome! It looks like you're in for a fair bit of fun there, and, er, work.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Great to see another SIIA on the road back to roving.
