Thanks again Alan, at least there is another sad old git out there! Will keep the options open - you never know where Betsy will end up!

Betsy has a standard 2 1/4 petrol but is mated to a series 3 gearbox with full syncro.
She also has an Overdrive fitted & FWH's. Suits me as most of my travel is local runs.... that said she did herself proud running from Weymouth to Luxembourg. Running at average 20-24 mpg presently.

Morning All
Bump to the above question - if anyone has any ideas??
Also, I believe that the pipes shown here may have been connected to an oil cooler? What do you think?

Hi
could anybody please point me in the right direction as to trying to ascertain if Betsy would originally have had "bumperettes" or the such on the rear crossmember? She has had a replacement (military) rear crossmember.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Good luck - looks like you are having fun. Keep posting and I will con tine to get tips for my rolling restoration on Betsy.

On Page 46 of the Series 2 Owners Manual it shows 2 breathing slots in the rocker cover filter cap and Page 26 of the Green Bible, it shows a different set up the...

OK so here are some long awaited (?) - well promised - photo's of Betsy. A couple of the bulkhead usual problem areas. A little rust on both sides that will need some work in the (near?) future.
can't seem to download more than 2 images at present - so adding them to an Album under my...

Thanks
I am thinking of giving it a go in a small area at first just to see what it is like. Found a reasonable candidate today whilst out trying to get some piccies....
Will see how that pans out and then think about the longer term options.

Thanks Alan for your input. Yep - sun is shining and having fun. My parents arrived from the UK yesterday bringing the rear bench seats and lap bets / service kit and some other bits, so looking forward to tinkering proper this coming weekend.
Thanks also for the comment re chassis...

Correct Jasper74 - but please keep the debate going as more information = better knowledge for us newbies!

Hi, its not the "going further" bit TBH, but just wanted to know if it is a viable option? My main concern is the ease of cleaning the chassis up at a later stage if and when you want to / need to work on it re welding etc.
