Thread: Just bought a 2A

Still going on the engine, nearly finished, the timing was a complete tw@t to get right but we got there in the end.

Should be finished in the next day or so.




Diffs, fully rebuilt, new bearings, seals, front swivel joints basically bran new.
Dropped them off at the painters this morning, should have a rolling chassis by the weekend.

Hit a Mile stone this morning, all Christmas holidays we've been coming in only to be hit with set backs, first one was forgetting to order the U-bolts, had a 220km round trip to buy some, then having a couple of nuts missing, obviously being a Land Rover they were strange a strange size so after visiting a few nut & bolt shops we finally found some!

Couple of hours this morning and we now have a rolling chassis, two fully rebuilt diffs, a complete new braking system all on repainted wheels with new tyres!

We have 12 months to get her up and running and some learners plates displayed!

Not posted for a few weeks, project has stalled abut! Going to get some parts today for the engine. I've got all the parts that need bead blasting sorted out and in boxes. Off to Pillip Island this weekend so will be back on it in the next week or so!

This project is looking brilliant.

Thank you, appreciate that.

Gathering all the body panels this afternoon and taking them to Harry at Series rescue, he'll work his magic on them

Loaded a few body parts on the ute and took them to Harry at Series Rescue, great bloke and top craftsman.

The plan is for him to take all the galvanised bits off them I'll take all the body panels to get lightly blasted and primed, then take them back to his and he will carry out all the body repairs and prep. Then back to the body shop for painting, I would get Harry to paint the car but my mate is doing it for free ad managed to get the paint for nothing as well!

Going to be a busy few months!

Just a couple of little things to do and she'll b e ready to fit!

So fingers crossed touch wood! This weekend we should have the engine in the chassis!
