Follow my progress as I rebuild a 1973 Land-Rover Series III. It needs a lot of work, with all the major assemblies needing an overhaul, and a complete bulkhead swap. My aim is to keep it as original as possible and keep costs down by doing most of the work myself. Feel free to comment with any feedback or suggestions!

Spare Bulkhead
I went out to Rolleston over the weekend to collect the spare bulkhead & seatbox that come with the Land Rover. This way I don't need to make 2 trips when I pick the vehicle up, and it gives me something to tinker with in the meantime.
The bulkhead looked pretty good, no major rust and came with the upper and lower fascia still fitted, as well as a steering box and clutch master cylinder/pedal (I will keep these aside incase they are in better condition than the ones on the vehicle) Only issue is that the centre panel between the footwells has been cut out to accommodate an engine conversion. My plan is to make one good bulkhead out of the two, by cutting out the pieces from the bulkhead on the vehicle and wedding them into this spare one.
