Thread: Project Offroader

OK

What are you going to do with it? Serious offroader or a restoration job?

Wow, its got a hand throttle, thats soo cool, never seen one before. Should be a good buildup although all those pics loading on the one page every time you open it will eventually become a pain and mega bandwidth waster.

I'll cut the pics back a little hey

Its a back to as cloes to original as possible, so it won't be a hardcore 38" tyre shod monster truc, that might come with the next project

All the Series 1/2/2a Landrovers I've owned have been fitted with hand throttles when I got them, as have most others I have seen. In my experience they are not uncommon at all.

I gave up waiting for the page to load - we don't all have broadband, or even good dialup.

I've just cut back the images after getting the feedback o nthe page loads.

All the photos can been seen on specific photo galleries with only a few thumbnails in each post.

For real? A family friend has a 2A, been in it a million times and I cant recall ever seeing one in it.

srowlandson, are you gonna keep the original engine or put something else in it?

Spent some more time in the shed


Floor and Passenger Seat out.


My current Favourite tool

Lots of 7/16" bolts to go to get the cab broken down for strip / prep / prep/ prep/ paint

Motor, I have slunnies spare 2.25 going in whilst I rebuild the original motor.

I am hoping to restore this one to standard.

Managed to get the roof off by unbolting the back wall and undoing the wndscreen butterfly nuts. The Roof is now off

The floor is now completely out, havng to unbolt the clutch and brake pedals. Unfortunately the brake line won’t unbolt frmo the master cylinder

I have undone the bolts mounting the back wall to the chassis, 3 stubborn bolts hold it in place.

More unbolting of the radiator surround has it about 80% out
