Hi all

Just about finished stripping a swb 2a. I am probably gonna put all the bits
on ebay but thought I would give n.g. first crack.

Bits for sale are all body panels, most have some small character dents:
> Near-side front wing has a hole cut in it for a snorkel.
> Bonnet with spare wheel mounting - pretty good nick.
> Truck cab roof is quite badly dented, but only cosmetic!
> Pair of early 90 wind-up window doors.
> Rear tub - supports disintegrated (as is usual)
> Bulk head needs foot-well & door pillar repairs, but other than that in
> good condition.
> Full set of standard leaf springs for petrol model - appear to be in
> reasonable condition: vehicle sat level, no sagging etc.
> Petrol radiator - looks reasonably new, small damage to cooling fins
> purely cosmetic.
> Lots of axle parts - just tell me what you want.
> Many other bits & pieces, prices negotiable

Email me at [email protected] if interested.

Cheers,
Icky.

You don't have a front panel do you? Not the grill - the steel panel
that it clips to?

Yes but its not too prety, its all ready been repaired on the bottom
(badly) , but the rest of it seems reasonably solid, and would be fixable
without too much trouble (imo)

Sounds a bit like mine! Somewhere out there is a mint (or at least
'good') 2a front panel. I'm betting it's leaning against the Holy
Grail and covered in rocking horse dung....

And another one just a bit further away lurking somewhere in my shed.

Why do so many front panels get repaired badly?. Ive seen loads that
have been messily bodged.
When i bought mine i bought an un-repaired one and it wasnt a hard job
to chop the bottom off and weld a bit of angle along it. Once it has
been ground down, touched up with filler and painted you can't tell.
