Looks like a good project enjoy
Hello all,
I've been footling around talking to a few people about this truck in the Introductions thread and I thought I'd better start a proper (build?) thread in the right place.
Everyone seems to want to give their projects names so for forum purposes, I found it in a barn so I may call it "Barney", but in real life I'll probably just call it the truck.
I've got absolutely no idea what I'm doing, the biggest resto project I've ever taken on was a small trials bike - and that took me a year...
But my son Jon is a Land Rover buff so I'm looking forward to a bit of quality time with him. Here he is giving it the once over...
It's powered by a 202 at the moment but came with the original 2.0 lt petrol; seized solid but if at all possible we'll try to put that back in.
It has two good panels, the bonnet and the rear window; all other panels are dented beyond redemption. The front panel is from a Series 1 and I think the tailgate is too so they will need replacing.
I gave it a pressure clean yesterday and removed a truckful of dirt
Anyway, it'll sit there now until I find more time/money to proceed further.
I'll be hanging around here quite a bit and hopefully meeting a few of you in due course.
Seeyas,
Peter.

Looks like you and your boy are in for some fun. Welcome to the world of real land rovers ( thems with leaf springs) There are quite a few Landy nuts in your area, so don't be afraid to stick your hand up if you need something

Very nice. I'll be interested to know how this goes. Was it previously owned by Mary Poppins?
cheers,

p.s that's a nice looking Barn you have there.

They were fitted with windscreen wipers, early S2/2A were fitted into the windscreen frame (along the bottom edge of the frame) but your frame doesn't appear to have any tell tale holes (or at least I can't see any), the bulkhead doesn't appear to have tell tale signs in the left side parcel tray either, so which leads me to think that it has had a windscreen frame change at some time in it's life for whatever reason, and I'm assuming that it was a farm vehicle as you wouldn't be able to register it without W/wipers, anyway it's still a better looking prospect to restore than anything I started with, cheers Dennis
