1967 Land Rover Series 2A restoration - Part 7: bulkhead, tub & steering box fitted

Question

After weeks of stripping, cleaning, and rebuilding, the 1967 Series 2A is beginning to resemble an actual vehicle. In this episode, the bulkhead, rear tub, seat box, and steering box go back onto the chassis — one of those big milestone moments in any restoration.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper shed build without a bit of rain halfway through.

There’s plenty of test fitting, panel wrestling, lining up parts that were never straight to begin with, and a bit of creative improvisation to make it all work. This is the stage where it stops being shelves of rusty parts and starts becoming a truck again.

This is a full DIY restoration — no fancy workshop, just basic tools, patience, and learning the hard way.

If you’re into classic 4x4s, Series Land Rovers, and bringing old machines back from the dead, stick around.
