Money and time permitting I'm hoping to replace the all the brake shoes, cyl's and hoses. Change all the oils, replace leaking seals etc basically give it a full service. Then at a later date make a few minor "enhancements" but keeping it true to what it is

Yeah I plan to get the pressure washer out over the weekend. That bits easy and doesn't cost much ;)

Finally got the old boy home, After a weekend spent draining the fuel/ flushing the tank out, replacing plugs, coil and leads he ran. Not smoothly but enough to drive out of his resting place where he'd been sat for the last 4 or 5 years. Now he's at home i can start working my way through the...

Hi 90truckcab,I'm new on here and about to start the resurrection of my S2a sub. Your thread is inspirational with great advice and photos to help

Nice work, looking at the number plates I used to work at the place that sold it new

It was registered in Reading / Newbury area, RX was the area code for reading in the old system before the new system was bought in around Sept 2001

I applied for the log book and waited until I had it in my possession before going any further. It was my girlfriends dads so I know it's not stolen etc, but he's not seen it for years and it's not been used on the road for 25 years

Hi Wildthyme1, I work in the 'trade and although dealers don't like to have new vehicles sat around its not uncommon. One dealership I worked at had cars in stock unregistered for over a year, these would have been 12 model year cars but registered in 13/14. We once had a 2001 model come in...

Not sure if it's a runner, if not it won't take much I'm sure. Body wise it looks very straight even the canvas back looks good except the plastic rear window, the paints flaking in places but this is no problem. I put a clutch in it about 15 yrs ago and it was always garaged until about 4 yrs...

Well Well the log books in my name ;) but after 17yrs don't think that's gonna happen. Unless it's over a landrover

Thanks Trax, hope that doesn't make me sound like a spoilt brat

Just acquired my first Land Rover, a '63 series 2A 88" truck cab. It's a genuine one owner from new 52k miles but best of all I was given it! (It was my girlfriends dads) I had to apply for the log book and now it's come through I can arrange to get it back home to start work on it...
