Reply With QuoteAs luck would have it (and through this great forum) we heard that pop058 (Paul) had just bought an almost identical (also G suffix) SWB. To cut a long story short we bought it off Paul and got it home.
(I must also take this opportunity to give a big thanks to Paul to all his help when I picked it up as it was cold and wet and he didn't mind getting wet giving me hand).

This one has most of the original bits still there. The story goes that it had started to be restored but then the restoration stopped and it had been sitting for an unkown period of time since.
Our two Landys
The panels are not as straight as they look in the photos: there is a lot of bog hidden in there, and those large tyres have done a bit of damage to the underside of the tub and inside of the rear guards.
I have got the body off and the chassis looks quite good. The rear crossmember has been replaced already, though some of the welds at the join are terrible. There are also one or two other spots that need a bit of attention, but certainly much better than the other chassis.
I have just got the firewall off this one and it has also had a few repairs already. It needs some tidying up, but should be all straightforward.
I will post up some more photos as I progress.
