Finally got a picture from a place other than my backyard.
Haven't done anymore work since the picture, but am planning to
start again very soon.

Brilliant to see the leafing culture is alive in the states as

- and I
cant imagine you get many of the rust issues over there!
I understand that most old Landies are viewed with confusion in
the states - people dont know what they are! What kind of
reactions do you get at carparks/gas stations?

You should still see the looks I get, even after changing from
camo the drab. I am thinking of adding black camo in the near
future.
I do get an occasional, "I drove one of those when I was in
Africa". Always fun to talk about and learn more.
Not much for rust in my neck of the woods, but all that I am
reworking must have come from your side of the pond :-X

When it does (ever) rain, it really pours. The tilt also
provides some shade for the hot summer sun though. The temp
changes from the 40's in the morning to the 70 - 90's during the
day.
I guess I'm getting old ;D.

What makes you think it may be a former Piglet? Are there
tell-tale holes in the bodywork?

Gordon,
I have been told that it might, and there are a fleet of holes
that appear to match some of the pictures that I have seen.

When I got her, there were tons more dents that I have been
beating out for the last bunch of months. Always open to
thoughts and ideas of where there may be other clues to look
for.
