'65 IIa 109 ex-Mod

[luckyjoe]

Trying my best, a few hours a week, to get my old Land Rover back to daily driver. Target drive-away in March 2023. My garage holds the IIa and my '95 RRC, but so much other hobby stuff it's not at all conducive to wrenching. That's the first hurdle as I organize and stage re-assembly.

Oh wow... Lockwired carrier cap bolts.

Motivation by procrastination, I’m knocking out all the jobs I need to finish on the 109 before we move end of this month.

Job 1 - Replace the S2 tropical rad leaking at the top seams. Don’t worry, I’ll have it repaired.

The top flange of the Allisport rad wanted to occupy the same space as the rad support flange. Tiny bit of trimming solved this, and I even got the S2 guard and shroud back in place.

Finally installed that box of long studs for my Wolf wheels.

Last item for the front axle rebuild, replaced the leather swivel gaiters.
