Land Rovers waiting to be rescued - the hunt is on - post photos

[Partsman]

That was after my son and I spent a few hours cleaning out the years worth of dirt, mud, moths, stinkbugs, mice, chicken sh$$ and leaves...we only did it well enough so you wouldn't get dirty sitting in it - I expect to "de-panel" everything inside and do a very thorough cleaning, that will have it looking a lot better. Jury is still out on painting it, but I do have some surface rust to take care of with rustoleum.

Just the same, even with the cleaning you had to do before bringing it home, you wont find many nice barn finds like that up North here in Massachusetts. Keep us posted on your progress as you restore it.

Not a bad looking little guy. What are your plans for it?

[stonefox]

Not sure Terry, I started a 109 wagon a few weeks ago ( will post soon).
The body is not perfect ,but decent . The frame is toast , the bulkhead is repairable.I put a battery in it and it turned over.
I don't know what a SIII tranny looks like is it possiable that this late SII has a III tranny in it .The shifter is a little different (straighter) and the bell housing is "finned".

The SIII has the clutch slave on the drivers side. If it is a SII chassis with a SIII gearbox there will be some modification to the frame in order for it to clear.

I was told it was a 73 series III but the owner couldn't produce much along the way of paper work. The frame is toast! But the rest of the truck is pretty much intact. I'll need to do some bulkhead work etc but the doors are really nice as is a lot of other parts, did I mention the frame was toast.

Based on the grille I'd assume Ser.IIA maybe 71?

[achtung]

I must be able to run the VIN someplace?

[Firemanshort]

Your bulkhead windscreen mounts look more S2 than they look S3, also.

Look up CALVIN - http://www.clifton.nl/index.html?calvin.html

That frame.... aw, its not that bad. Don't you have any duct tape laying around?

older

looks older, the dash looks pre 70ish, lots of places to run your vin google it, mine looks like yours grill wise and hood that about all the window hinges and the door hindges look like s2.

[achtung]

I'm thinking 72 IIa now, but I still have to run the VIN. The truck is located in a top secret auxillary storage facility right now and I don't have immediate access to it. Here's a shot of the drivers side.

[1971Series88]

So why can't you just look at the build plate? Located on the drivers side inner door pillar? Is it missing?
