Prospective 2a owner saying hello

Hi folks, until recently I ran a Gaz 69 as a big boys toy, since I sold it I have messed with smaller projects like my, as yet, unfinished mini jeep.

I miss getting messy with bigger stuff and have flirted with the idea of a series landie for some time and had an eye on ebay for "the very one".
I hope to be collecting what looks to be a very nice Series 2a unfinished project next weekend. If it all goes to plan I will post details when I have it home.

In the meantime a first question, (and I did a search first, nothing useful found).
Dull/grimey Galvanised cappings, can they be brightened up with a light aplication of fine wire wool without leaving them prone to rust? Or is there as more accepted method that does not involve ali paint?

Oh well back to the drawing board, remarkably the bargain S2 Land rover I won on ebay got totaly wiped out by a load of hay crashing into it between me agreeing arangements with the seller on Saturday and this morning, how unlucky was that!

I await it's miraculous appearance on this forum some time soon

In the meantime my search continues...........
