I've got a 2A

OK it was a bargain, just needs a bit of work...

A picture paints a thousand words. This was the journey home. The last picture is when she is at home. No prizes for spotting the first of a "few" interesting modifications.

More to follow...

Not quite MOT ready. Did you spot the "light error" on the wing?

First a quick look round the Landy then well get to the interesting bits.

The hand brake is not much use, more of that later...

Ah, the chassis, well, er, it's not bad. Now how do you define bad...

First job was to take a few bits off to see the pristine chassis and "stuff" attached. Rust, w'ot rust Did I mention it was a good price. Yeah I know good is not the same as cheap but it makes me feel better...

Must admit I did know that there was a problem with the gearbox crossmember.

OK we delve deeper and deeper...

Not sure if you can see it in the photos but the bolts to the propshaft are fitted the wrong way round. Still nothing on what is wrong with the handbrake

Still not got to the handbrake yet. Be patient. Nice weather for the time of year...

Good news! I found the core plug jammed next to the starter motor.

Question, does anyone know if the blanking plate on the back of the gearbox, that is currently made of cardboard, should have a bearing or something to support the shaft in the gearbox or is it just a cover?

Most of the chassis that is painted black is good. But I'm going to need to weld a fair old piece of steel for the main cross-member.

Underneath that beautifully crafted PTO hole it's as rotten as old nick! If you look at the rear cross-member you will see that it does not have a PTO hole so I'm thinking of just creating a fully welded box section cross-member out of 3mm steel.

Can you see why the handbrake doesn't work Who's nicked me shoes then? Still at least the previous owner put the drum back


That's about where we are at. So more to follow as and when time permits.

Oh, BTW what's with the front bumper? Any ideas...

Thanks James, I was thinking of just fabricating a cover. Could have been in a whole world of hurt there.

What are the opinions on cutting out the rot on the main cross-member and welding in a 3mm steel box section?

Welding is not a problem for me so can't see any obvious problems but you guys have more knowledge on Landies than me so more than happy to listen to others opinions.
