matt, that's a very tidy Series you've got there.

Done much to it or was it in that condition when you got it?
Thanks a lot.. Bought it back in Lact october, Laid deposit down of £50 on 31st October 07, Picked it up 4th November 07 and it looked like this..
Basically was a unfinished project, the Previous owner was moving to South of france and couldnt take it with him and wanted £650 for it this time last year originally, He then said he would break it and I wanted the front recon Military axle from it for my other 88, Not knowing ho wmuch work had gone into it, He then said I could have it for 350 but I said I couldnt as I had no money at all.. Life moved on and he kept it and decided to take it to his future home in france, He fitted many new parts and got it ready for MOT and painted it in hammerite

. Well a week before he was to take it for its MOT his missus told him to pack his bags just before their move to france. That ment he had no home and his 2a had to go but keeping his 2006 td5 defender.. So he offered it to me, I expected to pay £800 for it after his work.. I said how much too him, 10 minutes later, "£200 please mate" I nearly had a heart attack.
I bought it, took it home set out stripping the hammerite using 50l of nitro morse and a jet washer, sprayed it up in december (It took a month to get it ready for primer) basically painted it and kept it as a truck cab, Then fitted a 2a grille, then more cosmetics. Ditched the smokestack exhaust and fitted my other 88's hardtop for some reason I dont know, Sprayed the hardtop, Rebuilt the engine (nightmare! taken the head off 7 times!). Then fitted new wheels, Swapped for series seats, fitted the cubby box, And loads of accessories and that and put it through an MOT.
Basically All I have done is cosmetics, re-rung the engine and tidied it up.
if you have LRM you can ready the full story on pages 198-199
