New Project for RoverOne - Series 2a SWB

**RoverOne** · 30th April 2006, 02:06 AM

I picked up on Thursday my third Land Rover a 1964 Series 2a Ex Army in pretty good nick.

Immediate things to be done to get running properly as it hasn't been started for 9 months is pull down fuel system & clean out & check as idles rough at the moment, also fix slight leak in fuel tank seam. Possible rubber in daphram perish letting in air?

Parts to chase up include:-
Canvas Top, hoops for canvas, battery, original carby/filter, wipers, both door tops with glass, muffler, front blinkers, right rear bumber, left mudflap, left mirror.

Other than the above, it is straight as a die, just needs rubbing back and respraying in original matt green, any suggestions where to get paint?

Body underneath not marked, no gouges, no bashed spring hangers, must have been driven around the base & not in the bush.

A few pics below and more in my gallery.

Cheers
Bryce

PS The trees are all mine.

Hi Drivesafe,

I paid $1800 for it with a load of new parts in the tub. What sold me on it was the straightness of the body & new engine fitted, yes it is the standard factory petrol engine... that alone is worth $1800, I would not have bought it with a holden donk

There is also the possibility of picking up from the previous owner, the old engine, lots more spare army wheels/tyres, & hopefully the rag top & bows, but I'm not holding my breath, it'll be a bonus if it comes off.

Cheers
Bryce
