Day 61 (30th November 2013) of the restoration of my Series 2 Land Rover

Day 61


Well, the floor plates are all secured down now. Plus we got the mud shields on and the steering box cover is in place now also.

There was not enough room to get the camera in to take photos of these. But I do have photos of the floor plates all secure in place now.

We have also got the heater secured in place too. This is one of those jobs that is not easy to get at the nuts and bolts that fix it in. But there is always something like that on a Series LOL

As you can see all the rubbers on the gear stick, the handbrake and the high and low ratio selector are all in place now too.

Well that is it for now. We were going to get some more done today (1st December 2013) but the weather again is against us.

We did have a little set back. The VIN plate has gone. Neither of us remember where we last saw it. Oh I hate losing stuff, especially when it is something as important and the VIN plate. We have asked the Series 2 Club for a new one. We had to prove that the vehicle is mine and the VIN number. I also told them about Avril coming and getting the relevant numbers off the Series 2 and we have placed an order for a new VIN plate. We are just waiting for that to be made and sent out. Without the VIN plate, we cant take her for the MOT. So I am praying now that we are allowed to have the new VIN plate sent out to us. So please, please, please, keep your fingers crossed that we are able to have a new one made.

I will let you know how we get on with the VIN plate and what other bits we get done. I just wish the weather would be kind to us for a change.

This is the list of what is still to be done.
1. Fit new registration number plates
2. Fit all the door seals
3. Fit new VIN plate
4. pre MOT check and adjustments
5. Front valance to be fitted
6. Bench seats need to be fitted.
7. Rear tub needs to have a quick coat of paint too. (rain got to it and it has messed up the paint Grrrr)
plus there are a couple of touch ups that need to be done on the paint work. There is always something to be done LOL
