Thread: One More Sleep......

That's them but it's not a light weight, front guards have said indicators but generic trailer parkers.........as if where it came from front parkers weren't standard or needed

the plot thickens I'll keep the angle grinder at bay for a while

The heater looks like a UK one.
You'll only be able to cut the glass if it's laminated, toughened will end up as a lot of very small pieces.

The 37 Rhine Workshop was a British base.......

It's RHD so not Dutch unless it was converted.
Is there, or was there, a fuel tank under the drivers seat ?


Colin

Maybe send sign up for another forum......EMLRA - Ex-Military Land Rover Association

They might be able to work out some of it's history.


Colin

Colin no evidence of fuel tanks under seats at all, and as I said before no fillers cut into tub either.
except for the one in middle drivers side tub that had been modified to fill added aluminium tank in tub.
The firewall is like cornflakes and so is the chassis so basicly getting whatever will be useful and salvageable off it.

Went back to the farm the last vehicle came off today and secured this one for a bunch of flowers the missus brought with her from our garden

IMG_3772.jpg IMG_3773.jpg IMG_3757.jpg rego sticker says 1962 so 2 or 2a perhaps chassis appears good but for rust in dumb irons

this poured out of exhaust pipe on trip home so I'm guessing the head maybe rusted out

Funky 60s speedo I'll defiantly keepIMG_3764.jpg swing tailgate I also likeIMG_3759.jpg and 4 fuel tanksIMG_3765.jpg

over view of my section of back yard
IMG_3770.jpg and landy collectionIMG_3771.jpg stripping of NATO truck well under way

Material on ground is to extend shed lean-to to house treasures

Plan is to strip and rebuild series 3 have a complete car, and then make a good sound 2a bug eye out of the other two.

Plus keep plugging away at my boat build, house maintenance , gardening as directed by head gardener...............................

Retirement is bloody hard work

Cheers Paul

Getting stuck into tearing apart my vehicles to see what I've got and what and how I can rebuild while the grass isn't growing also a bit cold for epoxy to set off

IMG_3771.jpg the red one in the middle is doing my head in not for the mechanical side but what is it and ADR's

To me its a wide light 2a, chassis and bulkhead series2 IMG_3670.jpg IMG_3695.jpg IMG_3675.jpg IMG_3812.jpgremoved bulkhead

However rego says 1972 build date is........... this not series 3?IMG_3813.jpg CALvin doesn't seem to recognise numbers

Want it eventually to sail through rego as a series 2a seatbelts maybe, but I don't want padded dash, demisters ,window washers, steering locks etc.

Am I overthinking all this..........I have a tendency not to be the sharpest knife in the draw comments welcome ..........about the car not the cutlery
