Default Slowly restoring a Series 2, in Australia

G'day from Brisbane Australia,

After my first 'mid-life crisis' where I restored a VW Kombi, I had my second one last year and purchased a 1960 Series 2 (Ex-Aussie Army) and I am slowly restoring her. She had a Holden 202 engine and I managed to kill that when trying to start it (I suspect a big end bearing went), so I tracked down a 2.25 petrol Landy engine, rebuilt that and now I am starting to think about painting. The engine is in and the panels have been stripped and epoxied and I am finishing off the mechanical things before painting. Lots of bad words have been said and a bit of blood has been spilled, however she is progressing!

Here she is so far

Good progress in two photos! Nice to see one taken back to roots and built up again well.
