Restoration books

[dullbird]

Hello

Can anyone recommend some restoration books for the 2a

I have just got the workshop manual for it part 1&2

But looking for something that will help with any sort of advice when it comes to using body filler prep work for painting and all those kinds of things

Thanks in advance for any advice:)

Do you actually have this book and recommend it Ron?


Reason I ask is I have a book for the disco to do with Modifications and well its crap..Or at least I think it is:)

[p38arover]

No, I have the one for the 110. It's not bad if you can buy it cheaply. I bought mine from a book disposal store at Windsor.

I have the book pictured. As I'm now a Mercedes driving, head up arse snob, I'm likely to never open that book again.

Yours for the postage. PM away:D

bloody hell has someone come and claimed that book:mad:......

I leave the computer for 30mins to fit a steering guard that doesn't fit and I get stiffed :BigCry:
well thanks for the nice gesture B92 even if I never had the chance to take advantage of it

There was an error, Lou. I've asked for it if you don't want it.

Ron

[dullbird]

No its ok Ron.....you got there first with the PM

[p38arover]

But my PM was incorrect. It should have read if Lou doesn't want it, I'd like it.

[dullbird]

its ok Ron its all yours I will just buy one.....or maybe a different one depending on whether anyone suggests any other books:)

I have these sitting here doing nothing. They are only magazine size, so not incredibly comprehensive but may still be of value to you. If you can arrange postage or maybe if someone is heading down that way they are yours.
I also have a Haynes manual for a series 2/2a I think but it wont give you much more than your workshop manual.

I used:

"Guide to purchase & DIY restoration.

Land Rover Series 1, 2 & 3" by Lindsay Porter.

ISBN 0 85429 681 6

Printed by Haynes. It is a very good book imho.

^^^ seconded.

I also have the full workshop manuals for II IIA and III (all varients, generic, with some of the updates installed) that IVe been meaning to get PDF'd.

If you need a bit let me know.
