1969 Land Rover Series IIA RESTORATION PROJECT

Due for completion:  Summer 2011

This vehicle is currently undergoing a ground-up restoration.   We estimate the asking price will be around $22,000 but a price will not be set until completion.

When purchased last March it was in need of some TLC, the frame was completetly rotten and it needed transmission repairs.  It needed a new frame so while purchasing a brand new galvanized chassis and removing the body we decided to go ahead and retstore the entire vehicle with new paintwork.  The panels were all removed and repainted in Bronze Green.  The Bulkhead has been repaired,  new springs and brakes all around.  Engine and transmission have been refreshed.  See photos below of some of the work we've done.

We are now in the process of rebuilding the vehicle with the freshly painted Bronze Green panels, adding a new canvas top, and getting it ready to drive again.
