    The blue one is probably going to be the main project, because it currently runs, but yes I will hopefully get the ute going. I am keeping the ute top for the blue one as an option. Cheers

    I did bring a couple of bottles back but not loaded up!! The black plates are dead, but I have been in touch with nzta and they said I can re use them when the times comes to re register. Good news

    First update -

    Cons- have pulled the front wheel off the blue s2a and the wheel bearing is absolutely nackered! About 200mm of movement from top to bottom of the wheel. Avm hubs are stuffed, although there are some on the military one that I may be able to save.

    Pros - there are 11" brake drums on the front and Salisbury diff in the rear.

    Thanks work ring binder!

    My first Series 2a x3 (NZ)

    Gathering bits for the restoration - upgrading from arc to mig! Now all I need is an agroshield bottle (argon c02 mix) and I will be away.



    Had a bit of look a at what needs doing on the blue landy's chassis In terms of rust. Looks like the rear cross member is rusty, so I'll be replacing that. The rest of the chassis looks fairly sound. The gearbox crossmember has taken a bit of a beating, but I might be able to get away with replacing the bottom skin rather than the whole unit. Thoughts?

    Also I have been researching assisted brake setups. The ld28 comes with vacuum pump integrated into the alternator so I am all good there. That said, what is the easiest/most cost affective solution ?

    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    P.s the "blue one" is now named "Joe" after my grandfather who recently passed. I think we'll keep the female names for the boat! My first Series 2a x3 (NZ)

    Also gave the old girl an oil and filter change and discovered a leaking oil pump. Out comes the trusty gasket paper again!
