Stix a rather rusty landrover

[West4x4]

Remember this post? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...


Now im not allowed to touch until my 2a is done but it apperes to be ex militry probably army as its orginally green with stenciled wings and under bonnet opening vent flap and stenciled axels to. Date of first registration was 1978 with maunfacture down as 1952. Given an age related reg of 562 STX now know as STiX. Previously owned in the bristol bath area. Its rather rotten in places but better than some lter ones i've seen and series 1's are very simple construction. Pictures from delivery date








Through my awsome freinds i already have an engine and gearbox and some brand new seats for it. Might have sourced a replacment galvanised chassis to which would save alot of work

Looks like a big job. Should be great when its done though, good luck!

I'm more a fan of the 2a, just something so 'right' about them - I'm looking forward to this thread though!

Jeez, it's all rust (or so it seems at first)...

The body is fine it's just the bulkkhead which is bad tho top rail and door pillars are ok as is footwell the rest is flat steel so simple fix the dash pod is fine just the steel it attaches to. Or i'll splash cash as firms are doing galv replacements for £900. Chassis needs work main rails at back look all good needs a rear crossmember and the front isnt great i'll have it blasted before fixing takes place. Yes its no wheere near pefect but unlike most classic cars its all pretty simple fixes with no need to have welded repairs looking 100% like on bodywork of a MGB or something
