Thread: Late 2a- Farm Find

When I was beginning my journey into Land Rovers, I looked at this one on a farm and was dismayed by the condition. Now, a little later, I realise what's repairable and it doesn't seem so bad now.
I went an looked today again and got a few snaps. Holden conversion, covered in pine needles, complementary spiders, Awesome bulkhead, rotten rear cross-member and gearbox cross-member, pretty straight and some creative work in the cab. Rear tub was great- under the rubbish.

Pretty good for a couple of hungie bucks?


















Not running, though.

From what I could see it was only the rear and gearbox cross-members that were cactus. They should be reasonable easy to replace... shouldn't they?

It would be great to go with a new chassis but locating and getting it here may be prohibitively pricey.

Yep, I think they're cute. I'd love to get this one back on its feet. I'd have to do it on a fairly tight budget, though. I've been a bit free with the cash on the 2a GS restoration...

Will I ever find a cure for this Land Rover bent I'm developing. I've spotted a series in great restorable condition nearby. I cannot do them all, though. I'm a masseur in a rural hub town and I get a lot of farmers and shearers coming to me. I'm always asking them if they've seen Land Rover in sheds or paddocks. I've got too many leads to follow up on these days!
