Excellent.
I have used the same method in stationary engines and it works great.
I think I have found my first bit of bulkhead rust, just below the screen in the top section.
This appears to be very common as repair sections are available.
Has anyone used this guy before?
Land Rover Series ONE Bulkhead Firewall TOP Repair Section in Hunter, NSW | eBay
The price seems steep..but the section does look good.
I got the floor panels and seat box out this arvo.
I found a secret stash of new parts in one compartment, nice!
nice.
I am sure you probably have already said but I forgot.
Are you going to restore it or rebuild it?
what colour are you going to paint it or are you going to leave it the way it is?
I'll keep it as original as possible, paint anything steel, replace anything buggered, clean and polish whatever is left. :)
In that photo, under the spare parts is a original Series one wheel brace. :o
And the lack of paint missing in the tool locker again tells me your Landy hasn't done any work to speak of, what's the mileage on the speedo?
.
Ah right, there is not just one, but two braces! :thumbup:
The odo says 57938.
Yep, Ive recently fitted mine, was a pretty good fit and the delivery time was quick. Got mine delivered to Southern Vic included in the purchase priceQuote:

Fresh oil and a polish, then you will have a pretty smart machine.
How are the seat cushions ?

There will be a little more in it than that, but its fairly tidy compared to others ive seen. :)
The rear tub has a fair bit of damage inside, very dinted and collapsed - that will be the worst part of the body to deal with.
I think it has carried heavy loads.
This is backed up by the rear springs, which are as flat as a tack.
Are these available as a new product? RM Parabolics may fit?
Mechanically it remains to be seen.
The front prop shaft is out of the vehicle, hopefully it doesn't mean diff/axle/gearbox issues.
I have about 6 different prop shafts, all of which are fairly rusty looking.
Can the sliding joint be overhauled?
The seats are all non-existant really.
The bases and backs are all there though and in great nick, so I will get them redone.
Send RZR a PM and mention my name, he has a rear tub that might suit you.Quote:

Send me a PM if you feel you need some freewheeling hubs for it, I might be interested in a swap for something.
There are replacement sliding joint sets available, although I'm not sure if they can be obtained with a yoke for the slightly smaller universal joint as found on a series one.Quote:

Recover kits are available from the UK in the original vinyl.Quote:
