A friend of mine is actually giving a Land Rover Series 2. It needs a lot of work but I am fortunate to have a good friend with a huge stock of parts for these trucks who already said I can have whatever I need. It's rough but I think I can have it drivable by the end of summer pretty cheaply. The original red hood that has the spare tire mount is in the front seat. It comes complete with the diesel engine minus the cylinder head, transmission/transfer case and clutch in the back, seats that need reupholstered, and I'm hoping a tailgate in there somewhere. From what I'm told the removable top utility version like this is the more desirable version of the Series trucks.
SWEEEEEEET !! Looks like a lot of fun, good luck, and keep those pics of progress comin'.

My friend in Colorado emailed me manuals for this truck so I can start looking them over figuring out what needs to be done. The hole in the rear bumper is for a propeller shaft off the PTO that runs a winch. These truck also had the option of a hydraulic winch up front from the factory.
I have officially named this Project Ugly Duckling. I've created an album on Photobucket with that name where I'll be uploading pictures as I go through the project. I hope the Ugly Duckling will be a swan someday.
The friend who is giving me Ugly Duckling had to fly out for a funeral so I won't be getting her until sometime next week. I'm really eager to get to work. I feel like I'm wasting a whole lot of beautiful summer weather.
My New Project
