Thread: Shonky's Series II Restoration - Parts Shopping List

Dear Santa...

- 2.25L Petrol Engine. Preferably complete and in reasonable order. I want to have a crack at reconditioning the engine so it needs to be salvageable (obviously!)

- Alternatively... 2L IOE Engine. Same as above, but would rather sacrifice originality for practicality. There you are Diana - I listened!

- Bellhousing to suit 2.25P (or 2P-IOE).

- Front Bumper.

- Rear crossmember. If someone has a good one lying around - great! If not I will have to get one from FWDs.

- Tub to suit 88" or tub side panels. Full tub is preferable as one of the rear panels has a gouge in it. Also easier to fit.

- Guide plate for yellow 4WD knob. You know the one I mean...?

- Grille panel. Mine is rusty, but repairable. I am capable, but lazy. Geddit?

- Door tops. I need some, but doesn't everybody?

- FIREWALL. To suit 4cyl - needs to be fairly straight and rustfree. I am dubious of my ability to fix the one I have... I will probably give it a go though, but it would be good to know where I can get a good one when I screw it up!

gday..i believe i have most of what you are looking i have a couple of old landys laying around i have a 2.25L i think it is any way i have my 1 and a spare i have a complete ex army shorty that has been layed over check my members rides thread..(my old girl) for pics of the ex army beast how ever i am considering not using much out of her now as i am toying with getting a rr chassis instead of using the old landy chassis....so will be in market for a rolling rr but let me know what u think of it and get back to me and if you know of a rr rollin chassis let me know i am in market for a cheap 1..lol
Cheers Shaun

G'Day Shaun.

Where 'bouts are you mate?

I will keep you in mind when the time (and the cash) comes to buy some more bits - at the moment funds are diverted from parts to tools so I can actually continue work!

I have destroyed my cheapy socket set (although god bless, it got me thus far!) and don't have a compressor so need to sort that out.

I will keep my eyes peeled for a Rangie chassis for you!

Updated! - Compressor. Needs to be of reasonable capacity for painting and running air-tools.

Updated! - Air tools / spray gear. To use in conjunction with above.

See my post elsewhere under another enquiry for a RR chassis

yeah gday shonky..i live taree but the landys in question are in narrabri nsw at my mums place yeah if i can get a rr rolling chassis the whole landy be up for parting out or sell complete and prob the 109 chassis rolling
Shaun

oh yeah shonky i forgot but the engine in the ex army landy was bought reconditioned bout 10 year ago and seen very little work was farm rig

I may be able to help with some of the bits.

I have a 2.25 motor, condition unknown.

I have a bell housing (don't think much can go wrong with them!)

I have a front bumper - but it is not a real good one.

I have a rust free chassis - it has had the engine mounts butchered so could be a cross member donor.

I probably have a spare tub, but I suspect the panels are worse than yours!

Guide plate - I think I can rustle one up.

Door tops - sorry, I have spares but plan to keep them!

Firewall - I have a rust free, pretty straight, one, but the bell housing area has been cut out (it is on the chassis mentioned above).


And I suspect I am closer to you than rover4life.
