    SIII Shorty - Potential Project

    A neighbour (1.5km away) has a collection of old landies and a few old tojos quietly going back to whence they came.

    I’ve had a quiet back-burner idea of converting a shorty to electric vehicle
    GoingBush beat me to the punch by a looooong shot but just means I now have someone who has done the groundwork.

    Of the six old landies the neighbour has varying II, IIa and III
    There were two shorties
    A II diesel with a banana chassis completely gone
    A III was petrol (no engine) that had a good amount of Iron Oxide but likely usable.
    The firewall needs loving
    Rear cross member plenty of repairs
    Front dumb irons intact
    Internal decay from being out in the open

    Sooo who knows where this journey will go but the serial number of the Jalopy is

    90301471A



    First step I think will actually be installing a hoist in my new shed addition


    I have a million questions but at this stage
    But probably have to just jump in both feet

    Good to hear you're going the electric route! I will get to doing it one day.. maybe when the components get a little cheaper

    If you haven't already, follow Jaunt Motors on instagram or facebook, they're doing electric conversions to old Series Land Rovers at the moment.
