Another 2a build thread

[toad]

Well Fernando has had a roof off experience to allow some fetteling of the rear quarter, again. Plus new waste and roof seals, windscreen frame and seal plus the door seals are now fitted.

I have started putting in the factory seat belt brackets and belts so her-indoors is happy! New lights all round should make the rego dude happy. Finally the brakes are getting a seeing to with new front and rear cylinders and front shoes. A bleed and it should be good to go!

A Land rover finished Drifter, never.

Toad.

And there we have the new owner

If you were to search around these forums a bit, you will find a Series 1 build by Toad - and after the build it went on a ~3000k road trip

He has a few Land Rovers - including very nice 1971 Range Rover that has over 1,000,000km on the clock...

And the Fernando reference?

You will know that pistons come in set sizes - standard, 10 thou, 20 thou, 30 thou...

Did you know that the initial standard set, fitted at the factory, have a sub-set: a, b, c & d?

During manufacture the assembly chooses the closest possible size to the standard bore.

When this engine was pulled apart, the pistons were stamped (from 1 to 4) abba !

So with that name on the pistons and Mrs Ho Hars insistence that 109" Landys are boys - the name Fernando was attached to the vehicle during my ownership.

It appears that Toad wants to continue the name...
