My newest project, a '67 Land Rover Series IIA, in pieces. I needed something that handled a little better.

Nice Land Rover. I've always liked the short wheel base trucks.

That's the first time I've seen a bare chassis and I'm suprised how far aft the engine sits.

Hey, it's "front-mid engined"!

Must have one of those heads where intake and exhaust ports are on the same side, I see eight ports with paper towels in them and that's not big enough to be a straight-eight.

Cool, Love those things.

Should not take more than half of day to put back together! Crack on!

You are going to love it !!!! Names to remember. Rovers north (VT) new and used parts and Atlantic British (NY) new parts, Badger coach works (MA) used hard to find parts and new interior trim. DAP parts (VT) new and used parts. Have fun. Badm.

I hear the sound of Lucas chuckling at the thought of a new victim.....

Cool!

Post lots of pictures of the resto.

Not enough rust....

Seriously, just saw one of these on the road within the last week, thought "how very cool"

Have fun with it!

I have been looking for an early Defender for the past few years. I keep finding nice ones, but the wife doesn't want a RHD vehicle. She can drive it no problem, but the chances of us living back in England are pretty slim. Even the old ones are some of the best off road vehicles I have driven.

Sweet!

Lots of nuts and bolts in your future.....

So I've been working on my Land Rover. I got to do some rust repair on the bulkhead.

Nice project. Someone already dipped a 914. One of our MN friends I believe.

i saw a 55 in the junk yard a few years ago. very sad. and whats worse is i didnt know anything about them to know what parts to grab

That hot dip is awesome!
