Ta mate.
You are getting quite a collection there...
Paul
Looks like you have the bug really bad. Will enjoy reading about the restoration on this / these vehicles. Interesting to see the diversity in the vehicles.
Thanks for the posts.

Yep got the bug alright, got a mechanic mate coming around tommorow and we are going to attempt to start and run the motors in the 3 project vehicles to see if they are junk or not.Quote:

Edit: That should be chassis number, nor rego number - now corrected!
All 3 vehicles run[bigrolf] I was most worried about the two Holden conversions but they were great[bigrolf] compression test gave red and blue motor 150/160psi per cylinder after things warmed up.
Didn't do any tests on the 2.25 Rover motor but it purred too so I think its a goodie.
Good day all in all[thumbsupbig]

Stripping 3 Land Rovers in winter is a test of endurance for me....every time a spanner slips the pain seems more than in summer[bigsad]
Took a bit of a break from spannering and decided to gurney my chassis's the one I thought was abit dodgy turned up trumps, some time in the past PO had bituminised chassis
Attachment 141735 Attachment 141737 Attachment 141738 Attachment 141739 coating has to be chiselled off but what's underneath is great
Attachment 141740before........Attachment 141741after
Yes there is rust where bitumen fractured but the majority of chassis is in good nick.....except rear cross member
Looks as if series 3 will be doner chassis and I'll end up with 2,2a's
Cheers Paul
Did a compression test on the 2.25 rover 4 in the series 3 today and this is the result
Attachment 141822 this is the reading pretty much for each cylinder so will use this motor in one of the rebuilds
Cheers Paul
It’s looking like you might just have a silk purse under all those sows ears...[smilebigeye]
Just treading slowly at the moment but it's good to have an extra vehicle as a donor.
Not sure how compatable Series 3 hubs axles etc are going to be with Series 2 should I need them,I've already noticed brake slave cylinder setup is different .
Before I forget .....before I removed needle from speedo I manually wound flywheel thingo around till needle was at 60mph someone had done this before as there was a witness mark on wheel, this enabled me to replace needle in right spot.
