As a novice round here that photo is really helpful. Good luck with the work!

Just need to find myself a welder now 😖

Good idea, thanks. No more holes anywhere thankfully, though definitely some thin spots. Unfortunately it's terminal, but anything to delay the inevitable is good. Will be waxoyling tomorrow

I am! There have been other patches if welding in the past. I'm just hoping it can get through the next couple of years, at which point I hope to switch to a galv chassis.

Hope someone can help with a simple question. While going over the chassis today with a wire brush in prep for applying treatment, this hole began to appear. This is as big as it got. Is this major bad news? Or would be a simple weld job? It's near petrol tank so is imagine not. If I was to get...

cheers - i'll google patience to see if I can find a good supplier will take a look should it come to that, thanks

Been giving the SIIa I've just bought another thorough going over to see what jobs I need to get planned. What do you think on these springs? On the front driver side there are a few small gaps, but the other 3 don't have any. Do these gaps just lead to a rougher ride, or anything more sinister?!

Fantastic work - the restoration obviously, but also for sharing your progress! It's a real help for me as a complete novice to see how everything fits together. :high5:

Off to collect it in the morning. The seller has today taken it for oil changes, put on a new wiper, new sparks, set the carb and checked points - plus he's touched up the white paint on either side of the slot. I think it is going to be a sad moment for him when he bids farewell to it! :Cry:

So then, I've bought it! Should be collecting at some point towards the end of the week, as soon as all the paperwork is sorted. I'll post some pics when I get it to it's new home. :banana: Hopefully you lot on here are tolerant of lots of stupid questions (which I will no doubt have - after...

So, I went to see it. I took it out for a spin (my first experience behind the wheel of a series). Managed to get it through all it's gears, brake test etc. I had a big smile on my face. That 2.25 petrol engine is impressive. :bounce: It almost breaks my heart to buy it from the guy selling as...

Just a little hello from North Wales. I'm not an owner as yet, but possibly will be in a few days time as I'm looking at a very promising 2a. Never owned a Landy before, I'm obviously looking for a baptism of fire :fencing: Hope to be calling on everyone's expertise in the near future!

Will let you know the decision :confused:

Thanks, will do!

So, I think I am close to my first ever Land Rover - a 1970 series 2a, 70k miles, current owner for just under 20 years and 40k miles. I'm viewing later this week - any top tips for anyone to check? I'll be going through the work that's been done including to the chassis. I've never even...
