Nice barn find....looks like a spit and shine was all it needed!!

[lincoln lass]

Hi Guys,

No it needed more than just a spit and shine. She has probably had over £3000.00 spent on her. One day I'll put up the photos and list what was done.

Iv'e had her since March 2009 and loved every second of tinkering and fettling here and there.

Thanks for the comments, your own trucks don't look so shabby either.

The inspiration for what I wanted to achieve came from this very web site.

I attach the following: -

Before I put the SW sides on she was used off road and at pay and play sites. I must of been going through my 2nd childhood as she used to have stickers all over her.

Brian, what are the two cables from the wings to the top of the roof for?

[lincoln lass]

Holds the wings up.

No seriously they are there as brush guards when greenlaning. They prevent small branches from whacking the windscreen.

They are made from s/s yacht rigging cable c/w adjustable turnbuckles.

[Partsman]

Oh, OK, I've seen them before in other photos, and always wondered what they could be for, as neither of my Landies had them.

Here's my 1968 Diesel Series IIA since last year it has received a new engine, new roof, rear door, and many other small things (still a work in progress).

66 FFR

66 FFR via France and Nantucket.
11,700 miles on the odometer.
New galv. frame and shocks. Other than some paint, no other resto otherwise. 24V electrics, neg ground. Gas tanks under ft seats. One rifle holder on dash, 2nd serves as a headrest. Full compliment of crusted grease, cracked corroded wires, and oil and coolant leaks. It'll keep my Healey from getting lonely.

Did you buy that out of Littleton MA? If so I was supposed to go look at it at 1pm but you bought it that morning.

[caperover]

Yep. Bought it in Littleton, who had acquired it from someone locally, who got it from Nantucket. Used his 12V F250 to jumpstart the 24V system. Somehow didn't fry his electronicss. Am still sorting out what I'd like to refurb/replace on it. 12 or 24V - maybe a new head - engine bay wiring is dodgy. Humungous generator. Distributor, and plug wiring looks like it was done with 5/8" coax. Any manuals around on 24V FFR systems?
