Hi all
We have started the restoration on the Series 2 - making reasonable progress over the last few weekends with some pretty rusty nuts and bolts.
This is a project for me and my three teenage sons, so plenty of enthusiasm at this stage.
Strip down of all body panels and the bulkhead now complete - photo's below.
Next step is engine removal.
Cheers
Angus

Thanks Tim
Chassis looks ok, once I get it stripped down I will get is sand blasted as see what I have to work with.

We are north of Maitland. Is there a local Landy association I should join?
Cheers
There are a few 4wd clubs but they are not into restoring vehicles (maybe some individuals in either club maybe but not as a club if you get my meaning) I have a network of friends who live in the lower Hunter valley that are avid restorers, I have 11 Land Rovers, 9 on club plates restored by myself over many years, I will pm you our mobile number, cheers Dennis
I have looked into starting a club that are associated around series land rovers, based in the Hunter.
Good to see more and more popping up
Best of luck with your resto.
Hi All
Quick question - on my vehicle it seems that someone previously replaced the springs - see attached photo.
Back - April#1B .jpg
Two questions:
1 - how do I know if the springs need to be replaced? To my eye there are no obvious signs of major problems - cracks, sagging, rust. Is it just good to replace them. (I plan to replace the shock in any event).
2 - I have read a number of forums which debate the merits of parabolic v traditional road springs - any views?
Otherwise, restoration of the vehicle is continuing with the engine and gearbox taken out over the weekend.
Cheers
Angus
