First Land Rover restoration

Hey - i'm both new to the forum and to Land Rovers,

Back from university over the summer, so have decided to restore a '77 series 3 SWB (2.25ltr petrol). Restoration is going well so far, got the old girl stripped down to little more than a rolling chassis - new galvanised bulkhead & chassis have been ordered, along with complete gearbox rebuild. Was wondering about parts though, have just finished re-assembling the brake & clutch assemblies after breaking apart to rub down and spray up, but need a couple of bits- namely the plate that covers the large gap in the footwell for the brake & the gaskets that go between the assembly and footwell / bulkhead (they seemed to be made out of foam? and simply fell apart when taken off). Any help on these would be much appreciated...also need to source a complete new dashboard / consol - any ideas? Live in South Hams Devon (Slapton) so any local breakers / scrap yards known would be very helpful.

If interested I can post photos on here to follow progress of rebuild...

Hi again and Many Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt and welcome!

Very jealous that you can afford to go down the galvanised chassis/bulkhead route on your rebuild! Would be great to see some photos of the rebuild in progress. I hope to do the same thing as you once i eventually find somewhere to do it and the money to do it!

Where did you get the bulkhead from?
