Series one Land Rover SWB

Just incase people reading this blog were getting fed up with reading about MGs, I thought Id better ad some pictures of other projects. This Series one Land rover arived recently, for a sympathetic restoration. Due to the meccano like nature of the vehicle, I had the bodywork removed before I remembered to take any pictures of how it looked when it arrived!
The Vehicle has been sat for a number of years, and the owner wants it usuable and presentable again, without it being overly restored.
It needs various welding to the bulkhead and chassis, the wiring needs replacing, and things like the brakes and suspension will need some attention. Once all the mechanicals are done, the plan is to paint the chassis and running gear, and then refitt the bodywork, and repaint the vehicle in its original bronze green colour.
