Will look out for one of those guns.

I reckon that aluminium sheet is to avoid / deflect any hydraulic fluid spills from leaks and top ups onto the footwells. I've seen lots of older land rovers with evidence of brake fluid spillage / master cylinder leak which has stripped the paint on the footwell and rust set in. Nearly happened to me.

Will be nice to see this progress.
 
Re: Aluminium:

Heat shield, perhaps? Were it here in the land of eternal rust I'd call it a bodged repair and be looking for rot underneath it.

Got to say I love the looks of it - you can fix this up no doubt. BRAVO!

Ten points go to you, peeled some of it back earlier:eek:

Proper looking bodge if I do say so but I'd love to know how it's imposed with old newspaper print:confused:

Also any ideas why there's two holes in the passenger foot well??
 
The £200 series 3 arrived this morning and man what a rot box, certainly not as good as I hoped but hey ho it's a good source of parts for the price, it would have cost a fair bit for the parts I've salvaged

This is how it looked this morning

My friend Honda is over from Burundi for 15 weeks with not much to do so much to his wife's delight I've put him to work

So I've salvaged the complete loom which I can transpose onto the 2a with the fuse box, the seat rails, the steering box, the spare wheel holder from the tub, the firewall on the bulkhead as mines been hacked up, engine mounts, steering box and connecting rods and finally the battery box and terminals.

Anyone know the implications of selling a knackered chassis that's got a registration plate in vin plate, according to DVLA it was last on the road in 2001 and was first registered in 1982 so it won't be tax free for a while.

Rear axle, wings and tub can all go on the bay of e and my scrap pile is growing slowly:D
