I've owned a few Series wagons, but have just taken on a SIIA Ex Military LWB truck cab in a very sorry condition. I plan to rebuild it on a new chassis to keep myself busy and for the experience. Are there any other enthusiasts in the Salisbury/Warminster area who would be willing to provide advice and guidance. If anybody has a home workshop and equipment, and wants to give me a hand in return for some free range eggs, sloe gin and the satisfaction of rescuing a vehicle let me know.

best advise in this case is to start your own thread, not hijack someone else's :fighting2:

Well where to start :rolleyes: :D

First post was after 12 o'clock ;)

Hopefully you'll find someone with a garage or shed big enough to work in fairly close to you......... I think workshop might be a bit optomistic.

I'd join a local LandRover or series II club if I were you ;)

As a previous Series owner, Shirley you must have some tools of your own and some experience spannering :confused:
