Still working to stick my 2A back together. Currently working on the tub fitting new crossmembers, a new floor and new rear quarter panels. All of the galvanized parts have been removed for soda blasting and then re-galvanizing. The tub will soon go off to a bodyshop for some serious attention and preparation before painting.

One final jaunt.

To the less knowledge such as myself, what's going on there. Has it snapped something and collapsing or is it freakishly flexible??

No, they really are that flexible. However, the rear axel and spring set up on that series isn't standard. Out the factory they are fitted with parabolic springs front and back. However that one has coil springs on the back and possibly a later land rover axel fro a defender or a Discovery

Springs will be more comfortable on the road and could potentially add more flexibility with dislocation cones (Allows the springs to dislocate out of turret). However I'm not 100% on this...

I think you mean leaf rather than parabolic. The only Land Rover with parabolic springs from the factory was the 101FC.

And my Series hyphen was referring too isn’t running coil springs and has standard Series axles. And not all Series will flex like that either. Most coilers don’t either.

My much missed 110 that I shouldn't have sold.



More than slightly scruffy but series 3 still working on the farm.

Hi. I've had more Land Rovers than I remember, but this I built myself and will never sell

Work is progressing on my Series 2A rebuild. New floor and galvanized cross members have been fitted and a stand built to allow the bodyshop to do their stuff without the tub going all over the place. Lots of other things under way, sorting out the correct parts for the headlamp mountings to the front panel, refurbishing the early 2A steering wheel, all of the galvanizing has been redone and much more.

Lovely - I can just imagine some bloke in a shiny suit trying to 'shoo' your old rusty car away from the expensive clean cars in the showroom

[anonymous-user]

Surprisingly the Sales Manager rushed out with his phone to take a picture.

That looks like the New Taunton JLR. You could have asked them how much longer it will be before they get around to looking at fixing my Full Fat

Probably the last night down the beach this year before early closing until BST next year.

My Defender today:



Moving from a 3.5 on carbs mated to an LT95 and Fairey O/D to a 3.9i with a 4HP22 doing the twisty work.

All done by me and me alone, on my drive without a pit or a lift. I’m not getting any younger - and boy do I know it tonight!

Still a metric tonne of work to do but it's in and bolted up, which was the target for this weekend.
