1963 Land Rover Other Base Additional Info:
I am selling my Land Rover project. I bought this rover a little over a year ago and have slowly put it back into working order. I have replaced or repaired much of the vehicle and added some much needed parts. The engine runs well, starts every time, doesn't smoke too much for a "63, doesn't run hot, and seems to have all the power it is supposed too. Having said that-it isn't going to win any races. Top speed is 60 but that is really pushing it. This vehicle is better suited for driving around the neighborhood or off road use. The vehicle was positive earth but is now negative earth, so replacement parts will work properly.
I have repaired the drivers side windshield wiper motor but do not have one for the passenger side. I was unsuccessful in repairingthe turn signal switch, but rebuilt ones can be had for $350 or so.
I have painted the vehicle a land rover color called chinese light green. It was the closest thing to land rover pastel green I could find at my paint shop. A previous owner had painted over the original paint in white.
The frame had some rust behind the front leaf springs on both sides. I had a welder repair with 1/4 inch steel. In the rear, the previous owner had cut holes in the floor and the frame to add either a roll cage or a hunting high seat, but honestly I am not sure why this was done. I haven't done anything to remedy this. There are two small holes in the rear of the frame. Look at the pictures.
I will send the buyer all of the parts I removed that are still operational and other odds and ends I haven't mentioned.
