1969 Series IIA Ex Army project

[jameshuelin]

Hi All
A couple weekends ago my brother some mates and I went to collect a IIA what i think to be a GS from a bloke up in kin kin.
shamo from the forum was one of the mates who came along, with his disco 2 proving invaluable.
It's in pretty shabby condition but has a good solid base and is a great start for a small project.
It was originally done up in the mid nineties buy a guy called Noel R. Wyeth
And apparently was for a bit trip around AUS that evidently never happened, it has been through 2 owners since then.
so the car was left with alot of great extras, such as; farey o/d a rear difflock, thermo fan, jerry holders on the tailgate, door vents, and air compressor and tank etc. you may also notice there are very well made vents cut into the bonett.
There was also a big trunk filled with original land rover spares including, many tools, more than 30 gaskets, water pump, mec fuel pump, shockies, lenses, leads, nuts n bolts etc.
I'll store all the bits and peices as i know they'll all be needed.
So the plan is to keep it at my uncles in eumundi and get the car to roadworthy condition, i'm not after a concourse car but a good reliable trip car and just keep working on it after roadworthy. i would like to keep it to the condition it was once the trip fittings were all done.
I look forward to gaining knowledge from all of the very landrover-wise people on here and hopefully it'll be a fun and rewarding experience.
Also, if anyone knows more about the history of the car or the previous owner who did the car up i'd be glad to hear from you
cheers
James
P.S. will hopefully get some photos up in a few hours.

Congratulations.

Looking forward to the piccies. If you can let us know the chassis number, that will get the old "history" ball rolling.

Some photos of the beast

[pop058]

good pics. The previous owner seems to have a thing for fuel filters. There is abit of S3 stuff among the bits and on your Landy.

Hi pop yeah i agree with the fuel filters, and i'm not sure why there would be a vent on the LH front.

To Mrs Ho Har, i had a look and not sure how to register for REMLR :P

Check to see if the vent has been added and if so, I have no idea what it is for. The other option is that the guard could have been replaced (damaged the original ??) with an S3 gaurd and has been cut to look like a 2A military one. If you have a look at the angle cut, it will have a neatly folded edge inside with a fine piece of wire (about the size of a brazing rod) within the fold.

The door tops appear to be S3 as well. Keep the pics coming and your chassis and engine numbers when you get a chance.

And I'm sure, Mrs HH will be along shortly

Hi there Guys

Its a good find - and in quite good condition for its age.

You dont get to see many with all its fitting - havent seen many with the internal rool bar (or is it as after thought)

Well done.................and being a firey - need to comment on the nice Austra Firepac in the shed as well.

All the best

Wayne
