Project Start

Nice visit today to a project just getting under way, and only a few minutes north of here. A 1965 88", originally grey in colour, that looks in pretty good shape aside from what appears to be surface rust only (except for a few of the usual spots, such a lower grill panel). Bulkhead needs repairs but overall isn't bad, including door posts. Engine runs, and the gear box and transfer box levers all move freely. Chassis has been rebuilt by the previous owner at the rear, and hopefully, pending further inspection, could be re-usable. A very nice starting point for a restoration.

Fall

When is a chore not a chore? When you can do it in a 1960 Land Rover. :)

Took advantage of some gorgeous Fall weather to use the Land Rover instead of the "normal" car today. Nothing like rowing smoothly through an old gearbox, to the sound of  leaves beneath your wheels.
