chevpol Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) thats nice, would love a ex Civil Defence vehicle. Field Cable Party would lay telephone cables, it would tow a small trailer containing ladders, D10 cables etc Mark Edited January 14, 2010 by chevpol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteor mark 4B Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 And here is what it is based on. Good mate of mine did LOTS of rallying with Land Rovers in the 70s and early 80s. This is from the Lombard Scottish about 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cw01 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Seeing as i've just remebered this forum, let me post my Rover. It's a 1986 Ex MOD 110 FFR (16:KF:26). It was origonaly a hard top, then I changed it to a soft top, then to a WOLF soft top replica, it is currently being finished off as a WOLF hard top replica (If I can get a half decent rear door)/ Few piccys. Still cant really make up my mind between hard/soft lid..... A few months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellacoola Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here's mine. 77KC63 I believe it is either a late 1984 or 1985 Series III 109 CL based and cast at BATUS in Canada. I've added the hardtop but in the summer run with the soft top...or not at all. www.freewebs.com/83s3109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM110 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 G'day All, I have been in the forum since last year, and I have only recently learned to upload pictures, and I have 7 fully restored S2/2A Land Rovers as used by the Australian Army back in the last century :shocked: (1959-1980's and some past that year), anyway here are a few pictures of 112-501 as found in amongst a farmers pile of other crap. As you can see it did look very ordinary, and the speedo reading was 3.7 miles (photo shows engine Oil pressure at 60lbs) this was acheived after getting vehicle home, the next 2 pictures were taken about 5 years apart fully restored, it now has approx 3,000 miles on the clock all clean for the Long Tan rememberance service Chloe will be out and about this coming weekend to the 'Broke Village Fair' cheers Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM110 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Land Rover restoration No2. After I had finished 'Chloe' I needed something extra, so I soon found another vehicle, it was purchased from Hilton P. a well known Land Rover enthusiast. 112-587 had gone into service with the Lawson Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade, hence the 'Tin Top', the top was well made but I didn't need it so it was junk, as found out at Colo Heights NSW he was very straight body wise, but the bulkhead was like swiss cheese full of holes, he did run but not very well, he had a blown head gasket between 2-3 cyl's, we paid the amount needed and took him on a 100 mile road journey behind my Isuzu 110 County, then the work began on the long strip down after the vehicle was totally stripped, chassis grit blasted etc, the rebuild started, 112-587 was still Deep Bronze Green on the inside, so I decided to repaint him in DBG, this picture taken in 2008 and he still gleams when washed :cool2: 'Wee-Wullie' hasn't moved since the 25th April this year (Anzac Day) cheers Dennis Edited September 10, 2010 by DJM110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM110 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Land Rover resoration No3. During the restoration of 'Wee-Wullie', I found this desirable piece of Aust/mil history, it was covered from top to bottom with graffitti as you can see, the previous owner was a fan of Mick Doohan, I had to have it :nut: as found, and after being delivered by tilt tray tow truck sitting in front of the shed the vehicle had a dead rear diff, engine wouldn't run properly bulkhead rusted out and numerous other problems which I had to overcome in time. This was without a doubt the largest vehicle I had ever restored, I mused over how to lift the body off, I decided against that because of the cost in steel to make a gantry :shocked: I decided I would do it from the bottom up. Starting with the rear end, everything was removed, chassis cleaned with cup wire brushes and a needle scale gun, it took weeks of toil but we suceeded in the end, refitted it with a Salisbury differential when the rear end was finished I started it up reversed it out of the shed, turned around on the street, reversed back into the shed and gutted it back to the rear floor, and did the same with the chassis etc, 114-194 needed a new bulkhead, one was sourced from a country Land Rover (very dry out west = no rust ), several things needed to trial fitted etc everything fitted as it should, and over time all items were refitted, the head was removed and new valve stem oil seals fitted, carburettor O/haul, fiddle for days with the wiring loom, as these vehicles were fitted with a plethora of items that other service L/r's didn't have, it is fitted with a rotating beacon (RED) on the turret, under the bonnet Continental Horns, it was nightmare for me, but with perserverance i beat it, everything works as it should, The graffitti was removed by using the tried and proven method of paint stripper, as the body has literally hundreds of rivets, a mechanical device was not an option, the body was pressure washed afterwards to remove any traces of paint stripper, it still took a long time, After this was acheived the vehicle was etch primed and given 2 coats of Olive Drab, then all the areas were marked out for the Geneva Crosses x 5, only the 2 on the side of the body were the same size, the Geneva Cross on the turret was over 3' in dia, Being a Reg/Nse myself I found it relatively easy to re-equip the vehicle with 60's n 70's med/surg gear, as you can see I have near enough gear to set up a field station, the restoration of this Land Rover took me almost 18 months, I work on all my projects every day when not at work, and after work I do meanial tasks on the vehicle, it all adds up, this picture shows the 2 R/n's, I also have a deceased in a 60's US body bag + 1 patient with head n chest wounds I also use this vehicle to store quite a large amount of kit that I have for other Land Rovers, well that will do for one evening, only 4 to go + the Land Rover I'm currently restoring cheers Dennis :nut: Edited September 10, 2010 by DJM110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
