I'm finally getting started on restoring my 67 Land Rover - its been on a very back burner for ten years and I'm getting the urge to get behind the wheel of my old truck once again. I've owned this truck twice - once back in the seventies for a few years and then again since around 1995 when I tracked it down and bought it back. It's one of the ex-Florida DOT trucks that were originally yellow and came with a rear PTO and a pickup cab.
It's really in remarkably good shape for a forty year old Land Rover - the firewall is perfect and the original frame is in great shape. Here's a shot of it back in 1975 when I was in the midst of stripping off the metallic green paint that was on it when I bought it to respray it Corvette Chrome Yellow. The other pictures show the freshly sandblasted and prepped frame and the first coat of POR-15.
