Thread: Show us your S1.

I finally got the 80" (that i bought on ebay a week or so ago) home with a lot of help from Hodgo and Andrew (Poverty). Andrew lent me his amazing 130 TD5 "Cooee" and Hodgo came for the run and lent a hand.
There don't seem to be any numbers left on it - the LHS engine mount was cut off to install what looks to me like a later 2 litre diesel. (eng no. 118601594).
She will be getting stripped (to complete my other 80" when I get it back home as well) and the diesel, firewall, chassis, tub and PTO will go onto evilbay to finance the resto.
Boy, didn't the combo get some attention on the way home!

Tell me more about the firewall. Mine has the rust gremlin. What year is this one and what condition is the firewall in?

Let us know when the diesel and PTO go on eBay.

I also transported my 1950 Series 1 the final leg home yesterday.


Still haven't cleaned up my shed. Too wet on Saturday to empty it out.

G'day Beckford, the firewall is quite good with (as far as I can see) rust only along the bonnet line on the front. footwells and interior look quite good. Unfortunately the instruments have been smashed. There are a couple of bits welded on but should grind off OK.
The year is a question mark, as the chassis number is missing.
