Thread: 1969 Series IIA Ex Army project

Howdy,
I agree with nitemare,
on closer inspection, my oil cooler seems very aftermarket, and i think i have seen an orig. IIa oil cooler and it was quite different.

An update on the car,
I am going for a roadworthy tomorrow morning, hopefully of course passing i will take some photos and post them up over the next few days.

Things done to the car
-replaced water pump
-replaced coil
-replaced radiator
-ALOT of wiring :P
-rust inhibiting and painting
-upholstery
-degreasing
-steering damper and all shockies
-wiper motor

I have been working with my brother on the landie for the past week or so, we have invested alot of time and a fair bit of money at british offroad :P but we are very pleaed with our final product. Also the mass of spares have come in handy many times for replacing broken parts etc.

I have one question to do with series 3 wiper motors, we replaced our broken IIa motor with a sIII motor, although we are not sure of the park and brake lines and where to connect them from the motor, so i was wondering if anyone knew how to describe the circuit (they have 2 speeds) or better yet a good diagram.

Anyway, hopefully i will have some photos soon, I will also be taking it to fraser next tuesday with a few mates and am very much looking forward to that .

Sorry about the gap in progress although i have been working for a solid 8-7pm regime for 7 days now :P

cheers
James

Hi Sideroad

I was very glad we got the roadworthy, we went to fraser the following week, ill try to find some photos.
Also, next job is piston rings, got a LOT of blowby.
