    That centre seat sure looks comfy

    Exactly how many spare wheels does it need


    Other than that looks pretty straight and clean. Is it going to stay a yellow peril?

    Would it be asking too much to request a picture of the bracket fitted to the chassis to support the tray at the front?

    I know it's a Series III, not a Defender, but some things haven't changed much in the last 50 or 60 years, so it might give me something with which to compare mine.

    Alternatively, perhaps you could just tell me if yours looks anything like mine.

    So, still no SWB?

    At least you can still have some series fun in the meantime.

    Looks good.

    Pretty good value for money I reckon.
    I dare say that Mrs Ho Har will have a lot of fun with it and poor old Ho Har himself may just have another project to fit in between work, the shed and all the other odds and ends he already has lined up.
    It runs, even though it has a distinct "Aussie" sound to it, and the following clip (if it works) will tell the story of the initial fire up. Watch the facial expressions for actual contact time!
    Unfortunately it was a bit short on in the fuel department and the Ho Hars, (like any other self respecting vehicle owners) run a diesel fleet, so the attempt to start it relied on about a litre of mower mix of dubious quality scrounged from a can somewhere.

    Hope it works
    Regards
    Glen

    Well done. Now the burning question amongst all the others is what are you going to name Her/Him ???????. You seem to be right for spares though.
