Thread: new to me S3

I recon that`s Series 2A not a 3
Still a good find

chassis is s3 front is 2a including firewall.bitza.

Does it have 2 fans? The fan looks off centre? And I think that’s a six grill.

Thermo fan for oil cooler of some description? Or extra cooling for sitting at idle doing shooting work or some other farmy thing. My old s1 has thermo fans and it's solid fan, it has x2 ptos I'm assuming the extra cooling was for idle or slow farm work.
Nice truck love the over head compartment and hat rack
Cheers Jim

There is a gun box in one of the pics under the tray.the thermo is an extra but havn't worked it out as yet.think i will keep it as is and not restore has great character.

Interesting old girl that could no doubt tell a few stories if it could talk.
What donk does it have?
I see it has the 4 cylinder bulkhead and gearstick.
Can we see some pics of the engine bay please?


Cheers, Mick.

here is some pics of engine bay.think it is a military fan and what is the other fan pulley for.probably get rid of the holden air filter and go back to the oil bath if i can find one.has a small trap door in the passenger floor not sure what for,perhaps a quick fill for the gearbox.Has perenti wheels but not to sure about the nuts nut being able to be done up completely.major oil leak from timing cover seal will be first job.

The chassis and wheels and wheel studs look like S3, but the body looks to be S2a, as does the engine (except for the alternator).

As suggested - a bitza. Could be issues getting it registered, depending on how friendly your local authority is!
