Land Rover Series 2 - 1963 - Petrol - 109 Long Bonnet
Land rover series 2 109 long bonnet. Mot till May 16 tax exempt.This land rover has had the
bulkhead moved back the length of the front doors, and the rear doors of a
station wagon fitted with the tops removed. The chassis has been stripped down,
welded where required (rear spring hanger area), painted with rust killer, red
oxide then black synthetic paint. The bulkhead was shot blasted, welded where
required (new foot wells and other areas) and then red oxide and synthetic top
coat. All the suspension bushes were replaced with poly bushes, new brake shoes
and wheel cylinders (the axles are from a straight 6 109). New flexi hoses and
copper brake pipes throughout. The steering wheel has been refurbished. Wheels
were shot blasted and sprayed black. 4 very good general grabber tyres and a
different spare. The bonnet was fabricated using 2 bonnets and some extra
aluminium and the front wings elongated. The drag link for the steering was
manufactured by a local engineering firm to cater for the extra length required.
There is only one wiper motor fitted, there is another one with the vehicle but
it is not working. All new lights, including halogen headlights. It has had the
points removed and an electronic system fitted with a new coil from the
Distributor Doctor, and an electric fuel pump. The engine is a rover v8 high
compression from a rover P5B. The gear box is an lt95 . A new clutch pressure,
friction plate and release bearing were fitted.
The bikini hood is new, the speedo doesnt work, there is a cable but i
hadn't figured out how to attache it to
the back of the speedo. The body is painted with synthetic paint which has been
flatted back lightly to give a mat finish. I finished it last year and took my
son to his prom night in it with his mates, then my niece to her wedding, and
have hardly used it since, despite all the work that's gone into it I have
decided to sell. There is more that could be done or you could just use it like
it is. Viewing welcome, I have put a reserve on and will let the auction run.
