I begin restoration of a series 2a in Russia

[Bimmer]

Hello. I am glad to enter club of owners of a series.

I from Russia and couldn't refuse recently to myself purchase of a series 2A 07/1971.

I very much want to learn destiny of this car, however I have no communication with her owner.

Car at present not under way. There are no brakes and some parts of the steering mechanism. The gas equipment was installed, I suspect that it was made by one of dealers.

As I understood from interpretation of VIN number, the wheel had to be on the right side, and it with left.

The engine didn't open still, several times changed oil and an oil filter. As it became clear the engine six cylinder Holdan. When I could start it, very much was delighted, the engine worked well.
VIN 34710405G

I will show foto later

I plan to restore this car

G'day mate.
Welcome to the club :D

How did a Holden engine wind up in Russia?

Looking forward to following your restoration. :BigThumb:

[SG1 Bones]

That's what my first thoughts were. [emoji3]

Thanks!

It is very interesting to me as the car got to the Russian Federation, but to learn not probably ((

I hope to restore it within 1,5 years.

]Hello Bimmer,

Thank you for your posts. Could you add some photographs of your vehicle? Do you know what cubic inch the engine is and what colour the motor is? If it is a red colour then look on the lower part of the engine just behind where the back of the alternator is mounted. The photograph shows that my vehicle is a "202" cubic inch motor.

I am not sure if you have found your engine number location? If it is a Red motor look on the flat surface of the driver's side engine casing just above where the engine mount is. There is a flat surface on the engine casing that is in between the distributor and where the glass bowl mechanical fuel pump normally goes. I replaced my mechanical fuel pump with an electric one so I now only have a blanking plate on the engine.

The yellow arrows show you roughly where to look on the second photograph. If you can post up your engine number I might be able to identify what the donor vehicle looked like for you.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Welcome to the forum Bimmer, and good luck with your restoration. Some photos of your rover in it's new environment would be nice.:)
I was saving my money years ago to have a trip to Russia, but ended up getting married and buying a house with the money.

Hello Bimmer,

According to a number of Holden internet sites your ZL engine is out of a HZ Holden. Years of Manufacture 1977 - 1980. Because your engine has ZL it means it is a later model HZ. Instead of having "202" on the passenger side of the engine block you will have "3.3" cast on it representing 3.3 Litres instead of 202 Cubic Inches.

Have a look at the following link accessed 25th December 2015 from, HZ Holden Specifications (http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/holden_HZ_technical_specifications.php)

Bimmer, Welcome, a good series you have there. 245 Hemi badge also from another car - Valiant. The holden 6 can be a good reliable engine, and there are many still running around the place.

Enjoy the forum!


Basically hello and welcome just with google translate - best I can
Do as Bimmer is speaking English I thought I'd return the favour!

[LandyAndy]

What an interesting vehicle.
Australian complianced,Holden 6 motor with a valiant 245 engine badge,converted to left had drive sometime and it turns up in Russia.
I bet it has some stories to tell.
Enjoy the rebuild.

Thanks! It is a surprise for me. I didn't know that in Australia made and could install such motor. I will try to look for car history

Hello Andrew,

In Bimmer's first post there is a series of numbers at the bottom of the message that go vertically down the page from 1 to 14. Only the numbers appear - even when each one is clicked on = no photographs.

Maybe there is a setting error somewhere?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Thanks!

I placed photos in the first post. It is necessary to click on the picture close to figures (1-14). I will try to lay out on another.

I live in the city of Krasnodar. Our city is in the south of Russia, nearby in 300 kilometers the city of Sochi, there were Olympic Games 2014

[crackers]

Hmm, I can't see the photos either :(

Sounds like you're in genuine Land Rover country. How long has she been in that area? Most of ours (of this vintage) were farm vehicles or similar work vehicles. Do you know what her history was?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Right there---

She got to Russia from Australia in 1996. She had an owner one, but communication with him isn't present. Much to my regret I don't know her history, but is possible with time and the help of clubmen we learn it

[Bimmer]

Right there---

Yes, everything is right... here I also live
