New to the Series Life

[TheRover]

Hello all,

This is my first go round with owning a Series (and a Land Rover at that), so I'm about as green as they come. I recently picked up this 59' Series II SWB, but the seller didn't know much more about the 88 other than it was a west coast military truck that had made its way to a Montpelier garage.

I haven't been able to dive in deep into the belly of the beast yet but rust seems to be minimal (no serious flaking anywhere in the cab, around the frame, etc.), which is exciting but also taken with a grain of salt. No pun intended.

Anyway, if people have thoughts on this beaut, I'd welcome them.

Thanks

PS - if anyone has a hoop set they're trying to offload, I'm your guy (and a black canvas top if you've got that too).
