    Tonneau Cover

    Here is the link to purchase canvas tonneau covers for your Land Rover. They're based out of England and cost me around $175 for the cover including s/h. http://www.allwheeltrim.co.uk/series-2&3.html

    Does anyone know if there are any original bugeye grills out there? I had to take a grill from a 1970 Series, because my original grill (with the flat bottom) had holes cut into. Do you think it would be possible to weld new mesh to the original grill?

      You also have a late 2a/3 rad support panel, not a bugeye one. My bugeye read panel has been repaired, but is up for grabs. Mike at ECR had a spare grill. http://www.d-90.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17685 or you could try making one from a series 3 lightweight grill.

        Rad Panel

        Thanks Jeff. Can you send me an email with your pricing for the rad panel? You can contact me at derrekostr@hotmail.com. That link to the thread that you sent me is interesting as there is a possibility that I have that guys rover. I bought mine off a guy in Orange County who purchased the truck locally, and painted the truck bronze green from the original lime green. I have the original hardtop and roof rack in the pictures. It would also explain the missing rad panel and original grill. I'll shoot him an email to see if he still has his VIN#.

        Thanks

                    I never got a reply for the interested parts. On the guy with the long lost Rover, after closer examination of his photos I don't think the truck was his. I didn't want to lead him on a wild goose chase, nor entertain any offers if it really was his.

                            Found another at the Portland ABFM last weekend. I don't have the serial number, but its owned by Rick Harrison out of Stanwood WA. He built it up with a military type theme. A quick google search found this older pic of it, as i unfortunately left my camera at home.

                              For some reason,

                              I can't edit my first post in this thread to update the list. I have edited it before, what is the deal?

                                Recently found a couple of bugeye specific parts a LH fender front and a NOS grill. Drop me a note if any of you bugeye guys are interested.
