My 1971 Series IIA 88" Restoration

Great progress!

That's how it sits right now. I can't wait until May when I'll be back in town and can finish this project and start playing with it.

Great progress in such a small amount of time!

Just curious... why did you decide not to use your original bulkhead/firewall?

It looked like it was in pretty good condition.

The original firewall was starting to rust through up at the top near the windshield. The one I used was only rusting in easily replaceable areas.

I am redoing my IIA but am behind a little. The bulkhead has been a majorchallenge but once that is ready things should leap forward a bit!

What brand are the tires you have?

I've neglected this project for a long time, but I'm going to get back to work on it this summer.

crash > Those are Yokohama tires on there. They were the best radial I could find that still had the tall and narrow land rover look. I don't remember what model they are, but I could go down to the shop and look.

FSIII > I really depends how much time and money you're willing to put into it. Look at the structure first. If the frame or firewall are rusting out you should probably deal with those first. As for posting pictures; put them on an image hosting site like photobucket, then post the code from there into the forum post.
