Series 2 Rebuild

Thought I'd pop a thread up on here of my series 2 rebuild, plan is to get it all mechanically sound and sort out a few patches of rust along with a new bulkhead, also planning on doing a 200di conversion to it at the same time

Was the engine fooked? That looks very original and swapping it will devalue the motor.

Still, another one back on the road!

Missing bits and the injection pump was half knackered and i picked it up cheap anyway as a project.
Looks to have been owned by a master bodger at some point as well as there was some pretty dodgy wiring and other repairs on it!

Kin ell, that enjun looks massive

What you are going to do? For Engine rebuilt we should to consult with a good mechanic or do this from car care center.

Sorry for the lack of updates i've been concentrating on a levels but now they're done i've been able to crack on with the rebuild.

Now got it completely stripped down the the chassis which i don't think is worth keeping now i'm this far, the front dumb irons are rusted out and there's quite a few poor patches so will probably scrap the chassis







today i've started stripping down the steering box, the bearing races are fairly pitted and the inner column has some pitting/chipping although when pushing a bearing across it it isn't noticeable so hoping i don't have to replace it?







when buying parts from craddocks like new bearing races for the steering box are they likely to turn up in a blue box or are they going to be genuine?

everso likely to be in a blue box from 'addocks, you need to speak to folks on the phone to ensure you buy good quality stuff rather than just order online

i personally can't recommend any supplier for quality parts (not bought anything online) so you'll have to wait a little longer for better replies

that looks to be a nice early example

If you're buying a new chassis make sure you get your number stamped on it

If you order from lrdirect or lrseries, you can choose blue box or oem.
