That there is definetly a Series 1, the flat sides give it away! It is a very weird Series 1 cause of those guards with the 'Bug Eye' headlights and curved edges, probably off a late IIA.

Thanks for the info guys I'm still new to the Landies so it's a learning curve, just went and checked the rear left spring hanger, scraped it back to metal and gave it a sand, unfortunately there was no number, also had a scratch around the front right and couldn't see any numbers. has anyone got a pic of where the chassis number should be as I might not be looking in the right spot.
Cheers Chris
It definitely looks looks like a S1 107". What is the distance between the back of the wheel arch to the firewall (door pillar)? If it is 8" (roughly) it is a 107" and definately a S1 , if the distance is 10" then it is a 109" and could be a S1 or S2.

It is definitely a s1 I normally measure axle to axle I see someone has put lights on the fenders( that is a shame).
The body looks like it really good though and photos of the interior? what is the rust like in the chassis and the firewall?
It's not the first one I've seen done like that, it's done when Holden six conversion is done as there is not enough room as the radiator has to be moved forward so the lights are moved to the mudguardsQuote:

Thanks Tony. Sometimes the easiest solutions are the best. Why didn't I think of measuring the axle distance.Quote:

I'm bringing it home on the weekend so will no more then. I'm really looking forward to this project, I've been a Holden guy all my life so the engine will be easy but every thing else is a learning curve for me, I think It will fun project :)Quote:

It looks pretty good base for a project, I am looking forward to seeing the process ad the final result :)
Finally got it home now time to have a play, put a battery on it to see if there was any spark left in the old boy and to my surprise I got the starter motor to click, unfortunately as I thought the 186 motor is seized. but I recently sold my EH Holden minus the motor,now I have a rebuilt a Holden 149 bored out to a 155 ready to drop in. I need to get a book for the Landie as some of the wiring looks a little suspect and have noticed son more rust in the bulkhead near the drivers side vent flap, but overall it's not look to bad even got a spare wiper motor and wiper arms under the passengers seat, the dash gauges look in pretty good condition and there as are some other bits and pieces that look like they belong somewhere on the car. Well first thing will be to give it a good clean inside and out.
Cheers Chris
