got the wammers guide/tips so hopefully! Just need to pick up an oil can on my way over and I'm good to go, well that and a little bit of oil as I don't think I've got quite enough left in the bottle unless I blend some 10-40 with some 3 in 1
My mate has been on to a forum (not sure which) about series landies and got some info off them about the vehicle. I cant find the website so I'll ask again when I see him.
He bought it as just an old land rover because he wanted an old one and noticed the chassis No was 002.
Any way some one (rivit counter) told him that it was a pre production chassis so quite a rare landy and nice to know that he's doing a nut and bolt restoration, I'll get photos when he starts to put it back together

The parts with voids (spring hangers, outriggers) have already been drilled for galvanising, would be ashame not to. Powrder coating is a terrible solution, unless it's for a museum exhibit.

Nitemare - as an aside, - have a series 2 'barn find' - V5 says built 1958 but registered in '63 (?) -if i give you the the 'numbers' would your mate have a look and see if this is right?
BTW when i took center steering wheel cover off someone had written on underside "nosey Bastard" and then a whole series of initials (could be the factory team?) - DUNNO!

Ah yes I remember now the axle limit strap mountings are different on S3 so yes a 2/2A chassis.
I would of thought if it is an early pre prod vehicle and having a standard restoration the chassis would be painted as per original, especially if it's never to be off-roaded.
