Thread: Here we go again.

    Here we go again.

    After a bit of a hiatus from landrovers for a while, god I miss my Series 1, I have purchased a 2a, plus 35.
    It seems a quite good unit, solid chassis, reasonably straight panels,high speed transfer case, nearly everything works(although the drivers door lock seems buggered).
    Only downside is the holden 202 in it, although I have an old 2.25 diesel here and possibly a petrol 2.25 as well ( a SWB 2a was thrown in as spares).

    Yep. It looks like a lovely motor car. Imagine how much more lovely it will be without a Holden motor in it.

    I'm looking forward to putting a diesel back in it, just have to rebuild it, no worries.
    I put the orig. rims back on yesterday, looks much better. Think I might go back to an original front bar too if I can find one.
    I'll have to see what I want to grab off the other 2a that I got for parts with it, a SWB hardtop, I'm told it's an ex NT police vehicle.

    keep posting photos as you progress I've started a rebuild on a Diesel engine myself, have the block ready for re boring, just waiting for the parts to arrive from the UK. I think it great to see a vehicle that is kept close to original, particularly if it has been preserved rather than restored. Adds to its character

    nice but detail not quite right

    Hi Surly One

    I looked at the photos and noticed a couple of things.

    Very nice condition and should be well maintained if thats any indication.

    The badges are a curious mixture, as the Land Rover badge is the English build, with a plus 35. Now didn't I read somewhere recently on this forum that the Plus 35 badge's were only fitted to Australian build 2A Land Rovers?

    It has the six cylinder firewall, but the badge for the six isn't on the grill.

    When fitting the Holden 202, the good thing with the six cylinder model is that the motor is futher back in the engine bay so the front cross member shouldn't have been modified to move the raditor forward. This should make restoring it back to orginal a lot simpler if you choose to do this.

    I would sell my mother in law for that heater! they are rare and only found in the 2A six cylinder model.

    Good luck with it.

    Cheers Arthur

    Hi Arthur, how much are mother-in-laws worth? I've been wondering what to do about the heater in the vehicle I was given a few months ago.
