I have just purchased a 59 and am very exited about the rebuild it is completly rust free having been in the Californian Desert all its life. Your blog has given a me a lot of info thanks Gary I will be starting the restoration soon.

Hi ya
I have just spent 3 hours looking at pictures of your Landy re-build.
I am so envious i am at the moment rebuilding my 2A, but i have only just started stripping it down (even though i have had it for 4 years !!!).
My situation looks the same as yours that the rebuild will take place on the front garden as i have not got a garage.
Well done excellent site and pictures.

Regards
Mark.

Very good site,I'm restoring a 1965 2a and your site has been a great Library of information,Because when you have stripdown a motor and it takes you sum time to put it back together you can forget how things should be!could you please tell me where you got the Red and Green lights for the dashboard from,I have tryed many companys, I have even tried Jonh craddocks But the lights fittings were to small as the holes are about 23mm.Could you please tell me were you got yours from.Many thanks Keith .

Cool site.

Looking very, very good! super tidy.
I'm currenty doing a rolling restoration on a Series 3 Lightweight - can you tell me if you used cold zinc spray (brand?) for the tub cappings or hot-dip?
If it looks like yours, I'll be happy!
Cheers - Dean.

GREAT progress! Shame she's not a series III ;o)

Great site, glad to see someone else that is doing a hands on restoration.

I found a '73 S3 LHD that was sitting in a field for 15+ years about a mile from my house. Hope it turns out as nice as yours.

Great site, thanks for the link. Hope my new project looks as good as yours.

Nice informative blog, and many thanks for your kind comments on my Project Bertha Blog, I have added a link to yours , if you know of any others I can add will be grateful

looking good thats the land rover not you keep up the good work.

Your doing an admirable job. I shall look at it again next year when I get to the bodywork and need to push through the groaning stage!!

Hey fella. Gotta say, most impressed and inspiring. As a Landie fan with a 1980 SWB Series 3, by no means a techie or a grease monkey, its great to see someone getting thoroughly stuck in. Inspired to do something myself with my vehicle, although the time kinda puts me off. However as commercially available Restored/Refurbed Series vehicles fetch in the region of £15k +, I doubt they come close to the level of attention you've given. Keep on truckin fella and cant wait to see the finished article.

Excelente sitio, las fotos de la recosntruccion del serie II estan muy buenas e interesante, yo reconstrui un serie II 1959 hace poco tiempo y estoy reconstruyendo un serie III 1976. continuen con este sitio que nos ayuda a continuar reconstruyendo Land Rover.

What the f**k do you do for a job and how do you find time to build websites, cars etc.
Also are you still gay?
See you for pint at Chrimbo

Great site and fab pictures, I'm rebuilding a IIa 109 Safari with no previous experience, nice to see how other people have done it!!

Just at rolling chassis stage with 1969 Series 2a (WXC 181 F) going to take is easy and aim for an MOT by late spring 2009 (she will be my daily driver and has a Prima Turbo Diesel and overdrive fitted - scared the hell out of me, I was doing 85 MPH (confirmed by wife following)at one stage on the way back from Yeovil and does 40MPG). Good Luck

Excellent site and info. Nice and clear pictures. I'm interesting in doing a rebuild on a s2, but rare to find in Malaysia. However, might settle for a s3 instead. Keep up the good work!

I will be looking at your blog with great interest as i am just starting to strip and rebuild a 1970 series 2 ex Australian army Landy

If your parts are anything to go by, your landie should look great. Keep up the good work. Work on my 69 IIA 109 should start next spring

Excellent site and the rebuild is an inspiration. Keep it up! www.freewebs.com/mylandy/

Keep up the guid work laddie, although mair techie things - bodywork is boring !!!

;-)

Just getting stuck into a 58 SWB restoration myself got a lond way to go. Bulkheads now done axles off next prior to ordering a new Galv chassis from Richards. - Great site keep up the good work....

I'll be starting to strip my 1961 Series 2 SWB this summer so its useful to read your experiences - please keep posting

Good to see that you've used a few of the suppliers I am planning to use (Richards Chassis, Glencoyne etc). One less thing to worry about!

All the best, Swampy

cool site and good links good luck with the rest of the work
