Ron, I've got an old army steel helmet you can have for when the time comes to bunker down, Actualy...... a "bunker" looking shed in the back yard could be a new place to hide it.

Look at it this way Ron,
it's already broken:D:D:D
so every move from here can only be positive...;)

Hay I resent that remark about a real LR :mad: but can I have it :D:D:D:D
Youse blokes are no help at all!
I gave it a pressure wash this arvo after my wife went to work - the paint certainly came off well. :)
It looks better than I expected.
I wuz thinkin' :eek:
As it is only a truck cab, a full restoration may not be that hard.......
A couple of points I noticed. It has strengthened front and rear axle housings like the military ones I saw at Dinty's.
I thought of fitting RR diffs and that may be easier than expected. The diff housings have filler plugs in them so I won't need to modify them (see http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php't=34311 )

Most SIIAs had the strengthened housings.Quote:

tick tick tick tick tick:twisted:
The boom will be loud:D

I dunno Ron.....the P38 looks mighty comfy compared...... ;)
Then again, even in its current condition its probably more reliable than the P38 :) Mind you I love the flat bed!
Speaking of which and bad luck - know where to get a good cheap engine bay P38 fuse box?
Mine had been repaired twice so it needed replacement. I bought a new one. Don't ask the price.....Quote:
