We named it Oliver and are planning on using it for camping and a bit of a daily driver. This will be my third Landy project car. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Cheers, Your post made me do a little research (never heard of a Dormobile before...) - how is the condition of the pop-up top on your Series IIA? Welcome to the forum! -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlyonmckeil Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hello Jared, The top is in pretty good shape. There is a small hole in one corner bit that is very repairable. On a side note, I'm AI6F. I'm already trying to figure out where to put antennas. Thanks for the welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 That's a very cool truck. How many colors has it been, and do you know the original one from the factory? Hope to see it in action sometime soon:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineryrover Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Welcome to the forum, you have a great IIa there. If you haven't already checked out the mendo recce email list, you may want to. There is a wealth of information for the leaf sprung rover crowd and several dormobiles in the group. Good luck with the restoration, it should be a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew we had more Series enthusiasts around here... they never bring them out to the MORGs though... a shame, really. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If harvest ends early, I hope to make it to the Annual again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedram Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Welcome guys. Nice truck. I have a matching trailer for this.....http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a618/PBastan/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-08/IMAG1100_zps3iyhm1vs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see it in action sometime soon:) I think the green up front is original. The interior was white (some of the original interior is still there). The right front wing was replaced at some point and is steel. At some point, hopefully soon, we are planning on repainting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedram Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I got more pictures. Thanks for the compliments. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a618/PBastan/P-Fab/Trail-over/IMG_20140114_170600_zpszngqhf4t.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I got more pictures. Thanks for the compliments. Any plans to paint the trailer, Pedram? I think the green up front is original. The interior was white (some of the original interior is still there). The right front wing was replaced at some point and is steel. At some point, hopefully soon, we are planning on repainting it. And as for the Dormobile, when are we going to see Oliver at an NCLR MORG? ::bigsmile:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedram Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think I bought some green that matched the original but after the rebuild, I might just leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the Dormobile, when are we going to see Oliver at an NCLR MORG? ::bigsmile:: At the moment I still need to get a few things sorted out. It really needs new tires all the way around. I'd like to stick with original 16x7.50 but I hear they are hard to find. Most likely, it should be good to go in the Spring. I also put in a dual band radio.

El Solis Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I have 3 used goodyear G90's in the 7.5x16 size. Not sure they should be daily drivers tho. They aren't too hard to source. Pretty sure the goodyear store in Livermore said they could source them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with my local Goodyear dealer. See what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
