Thread: I begin restoration of a series 2a in Russia

G'day mate.
Welcome to the club

How did a Holden engine wind up in Russia?

Looking forward to following your restoration.

That's what my first thoughts were.
Welcome Bimmer to the forum, this forum is full of knowledge. I'm sure there will be many people who will offer good advice.

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.

Thanks Nathan! I already learned a lot of useful information at this forum

]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.
