My 2a

I thought since its a new forum then a new thread about my 2a ,
but using old pictures ;)
So way back in the olden days , or 1998 , is when I bought my 2a
unseen for £200

Rather amazingly £200 didn't buy much of a land rover , plenty
of rust though

A new glavy chassis helped the 2a live again , plus a shit load
of other bits

And in the summer of 1999, she was back on the road with dubious
wheels :-\

Then a few years later , I got bored with the " what I could
find at the time" paintwork and started on a change ,also got
some right rims too

Went for a more classic look with better side panels

Even ponies recognise shite wheels

But after a while I decided to try and drive past petrol
stations by fitting a very noisy TDi from a dead defender

And once again back to sensible wheels 8)

some stones from the road !

Just used for pottering about nowadays , still not sure about
the truck cab . It's good because it stop dragging shite around
because it will get wet , but when you need to drag shite about
, it gets wet :-\
But thats it for now , rear shocks are making weird noises and
needs looking at , plus the usual maintance needs caught up on
!!
