Show us your Series

[LaneRover]

I hate to burst your bubble, but from the looks of the slab sides and the way those door tops come off my guess is a Series I.

I just don't understand why folks complain about the amount of plastic in new cars! Just look at this one!!

Update on my '58 S2. I introduced my truck a few pages back...it looked like this.





Topless


Present state, in order to deal with the frame rot. I think the rust is limited to the rear of the frame (both sides), but I'm going to pressure wash it tomorrow to see for sure. I'm hoping to get away with the 18" rear repair piece.




Both sides look pretty much like this.

I spy a 912 ^

A '66 911 actually.

I got the pressure washing done and although it still looks like crap, there were no nasty surprises and I can see what I'm dealing with now.

Next, I ordered some rust converter and rust encapsulator from Eastwood that I'll apply back to the point where the frame will be cut off for the replacement piece and after that's in, I'll finish it. I've never used this stuff before, so we'll see what happens.

I have been very happy with the Rust Encapsulator from Eastwood. The Converter works well, but only on actual rust. From the looks of the chassis, you have a nice consistent surface rust, so the Converter should work well. See if you can use a wand to spray the inside of the chassis as well.
For the Encapsulator, the spray cans are very convenient, but expensive. I found that buying a quart and using Preval sprayers is the way to go.

There are only a few things you can do on a series truck which return that instant gratification, like cleaning the transfercase. Watching the dirt and grime peel away like a bananna is great, right?

Hard part is keeping it that way.

Nice work. Go ahead and start a thread on your rebuild.

1972 Series III

1972 Series III 88"
LHD
2.25 Petrol
Weber ICH
VIN 25900980A

I have the hard and soft tops, tailgate and full rear door.
She's got a lot of little dings on the body, but not too much rust.

The decals are from some rally that she participated in, at least two previous owners back. Maybe it was for the 50th anniversary of Land Rover?

Not running all that well currently. I really think the engine has had it, so I'll be doing a rebuild (my first.) I'll be sure to post pics of the project. She's sporting a new hi-range gearbox from RN though.

Here's my 1958 Series I 'PATINA'

correct me if i'm wrong, but is that a CT plate a spy? If so you should check out the Deer Lake rally in the events section, taking place in killingworth the weekend after thanksgiving. Nothing burns off that extra stuffing and pie like powerless steering.

Work in Progress

Well, Here she is... a work in progress. I've had this Rover for years, but am just now getting around to giving her proper treatment. 1964, IIA located in Albuquerque, NM. I just finished up the Front Suspension (RN parabolics, OME, Polybusings) and am getting ready to remove the rear tub and tackle the rear springs as well. I'm sure I'll get grief from you guys, but I'm deathly afraid of removing the bulkhead and going all the way down to the frame (too many I/Os to mess with, electrical, hydraulic, gauges, linkages...). So, I rebuilt the front end and gave it a fresh coat of high gloss black. It's not a Councours restoration, but I don't plan to drive it in a Pebble Beach kind of way! The members of this forum have made this project a joy for me. Thanks to all of you for your continued advice and feedback. -Brian

Hey

[weatherm]

Heres me reversing into a ATM.. my friend took the pic with his phone. Only thing missing is cigar smoke coming out of the rig Ohh and the oblivious HEEP makes it even greater. I had to pull two people out later that night.
