It is definately ex Aus Army, with Mulder's and the broad arrow stamp and it looks exactly like the 88" GS ones in pics on the REMLR site.
The canopy has one L shaped tear which has been patched, and a few small holes, size of a shirt button hole. Thoroughly usable.
Just sent an email to the previous previous owner, hopefully he still has the hood bows, and i'm missing the B pillars, not sure what else.
On another topic, I have a brown elephant hide seat. Ebay pics made it look black and the price was good. Anyone need a brown seat? By no means is it in perfect condition but I hear these seats aren't easy to come by.
No more work on the Landie till after Easter :(

G'day all,
Something wrong with my make-up? :p
(yeah, the genetic make-up says my sarcastically ironic mother)
Thanks Digger, dunno how I couldn't find your thread. Yours is the same type canopy as I have, though I'll have to get it out again to see if it is exactly the same. I don't recall it having so many markings, just the Mulder branding and one broad arrow. Good job with recording yours's markings/features for reference too!
G'day all,
Today I bought a new water pump from Gary CLR, he advertises a lot on ebay.
Before I install it, should I flush the system with anything non watery?
There is a bit of rust on the block's face of the pump area, and above the thermostat too. I figure a good wash through with water will remove any flaky rust (I let it dry out :(), but how about a chemical flush? Drano, washing soda or similar?
Also need to paint the new water pump with some engine enamel.
Cheers,
Mark
PS Thanks Dave for the tips on sealing the timing cavity. Bought a drill press today in case I need to fabricate a newy.
Drano, washing soda or similar
be really careful using strong alkaline solutions on aluminium. won't hurt iron based metals but will stuff aluminium quickly
Today was a big spending day for me. A trip to GaryCLR damaged my bank balance!
I bought a brand spanking S3 radiator (Britmart), which matches the one I have removed. Also a brake master cylinder and 74 degree thermostat. Not sure if the thermo is the right one for the job, should have done my research, as I think my housing doesn't suit the thermo I bought.
In less expensive news, I spent an hour trying to get the blasted cover off to replace the fuel filler, think I need to behead that one last rusty screw. Which would be fine except my Dremel had a seizure and my minicraft (UK version of Dremel) has worn out its brushes.
I'm a little concerned about the amount of bubbly rust in the water galleries, I haven't flushed them with anything other than water yet. Not entirely sure if I should try and remove the rust with the afforementioned drano/caustic solutions, or phosphoric acid-which is the base of supercheap auto's Septone rust converter.
looking for:
door frames/complete door bottoms
door locks
side mirror or two
5 matching roadworthy tyres
timing cover (still a plastic ring-in)
Soon i'll need some welding done, I can either teach myself, after buying gas for my Dad's MIG, or get someone else to do a better job.
Anyone want to earn some beer money patching a rear crossmember?
