Hey all. This is my latest project, and I'm getting a bit obsessive about it. I know for sure it was the very last of the S2a that they brought into Australia before the Series 3. It's got the series 3 instruments, but it has the older style cutout wheel arches.
I need to put a roll bar in, because 95% of the time I won't have a roof on it, but not sure where to fix it to the chassis. Also the top steering pivot arm is siezed, and I can't budge it. I also need to put seats and belts in, but not fussed with just a upholstered piece of foam. Anyone got any suggestions about that arrangement. I want a bench seat that fits, is comfortable and you know, staunch enough to be in my landy.

So you know, The chassis has been cleaned up and resprayed, I have new shocks and springs for it, all the steering ball joints are new, and the steering feels tight as a nut. I have all windows and rear wall panels, but these won't be on it unless I'm going into the hills where it's colder. I'll stick with the half roof and canvasses. Going to run new brake lines. The transmission and diffs have been reconditioned. All pedals are new and I've tracked a new instrument panel. I have moved the radiator mounts forward to accomodate larger engine and radiator, because red engines run hot at low revs, going to need some cooling action.
Yes, I have a fairly good idea what I'm in for, and the end result will be impressive. Any useful comments or pointers welcome, tell me what you reckon.
