Nice Leslie, No breakfast...is that a 2A, early 2A, or III? Hard top SW,rag top, or PU cab? How is the engine? Who's fleet of Series rigs and Freelander is that? You've got some work to do, giddyup. Good luck Jude | ||

Jude, Leslie is trashing up the back lot at TRG, so what you see are a bunch of customer trucks awaiting either pick up (completed) or work. David | ||

It's a '72 SIII; the trop top I have is behind it, as is the bonnet, breakast, bulkhead, doors, wings, etc. (ie, it was a complete running truck when it was parked there, and I've torn it down on the spot.) I'm also swapping rear tubs, as that one is full of the typical "SIII cancer" corrosion.... the other tub is in front of it, from a SIIa, and is in much better shape. I think I'm going to go back to soft-top for the time being, then later on get the trop-top back on (needs stripping/ painting/ window channels, etc.). David was gracious enough to let me occupy a bit of the shop's back-yard, so I don't have to walk as far to buy parts....  Also visible in that pic, is the Roo, the UPS truck, and the back-end of the chassis that everything from my Series is going to be migrated over to.... Let's see, there's also a SIIa bulkhead, tires on rims, and some rims w/o tires... Hmmm.... there's the marine lightweight w/ the PU top (that's a sweet truck, BTW); the limestone IIa; a darker blue 109 SW (over the hood of the Roo); a '52 SI (behind the lightweight), which is for sale, just check with David; and then behind the SIIa are a couple of other IIas... The bits to go to the galvanizer are all off at this point, I think (if you can think of anything else, David, let me know, and we'll send it too... )... I've still got a LONG way to go, but, I can see that progrss is made over where it was.... like I said, it's one bite at a time to get the elephant eaten.... -L | ||

Ah, TGR. What an arrangement, new parts only a few feet away! Keep eating. David, make sure he doesn't put the axles up on cinder blocks, then your new shop and neighborhood will go to pot Jude | ||

QUOTE: "there's the marine lightweight w/ the PU top (that's a sweet truck, BTW)" Is that the ltwt with the fat shoes that was on ebay last fall? Damn I wanted that truck... Mo | ||

No.... the fella who owns this lightweight has had it for several years, and doesn't intend to let it go... can't say that I blame him... -L |
