1960 Land Rover Restoration

This is just a simple pictorial history of my restoration of an original Canadian-import 1960 Land Rover Series 2 88" (or SWB - Short Wheel Base), LHD (Left Hand Drive) which I purchased in August, 2010. Later posts include photos of some of the things I've done with the vehicle since its restoration was essentially completed, although repairs and other maintenance are obviously an ongoing process.

Spring Clean

After another winter of enjoyment, gave the Land Rover a good clean today, inside and out. Some exterior screw heads starting to show small signs of corrosion, and one loose bolt in the driver's foot well, that limits throttle pedal travel, needed tightening. Will check the oil levels in differentials, steering box, gear box etc., next week, today after the cleaning it was time for a perfect drive in the sunshine.
