"Mustang Sally" 1968 Land Rover Series
IIA 109
Peter Howard built this project over a two
year period. There are detailed technical
descriptions of some of the modifications he made to Mustang
Sally on his website.
Peter was not impressed with the vinyl
covered slabs of Dunlopillo usually seen in a Series
Land Rover. They are fine if you want the full flavour
of vintage Rovering but he wanted more support and comfort.
After searching around, he found these
Australian made seats and details of how he fitted them
are on his website.
Peter also gives detailed descriptions on
the renovation of Mustang Sally's steering wheel and the fitting
of a replacement, adaptable, non Land Rover fusebox to the
passenger glove compartment.
The only bulkhead
available for 6 cylinder Mustang Sally was from a 4 cylinder
Series Land Rover.
To accommodate the 6 cylinder engine the bulkhead and
console had to be modified. Technical details, with drawings,
of how he did this, are given.
Peter features several other Series Land Rovers
on his website. They are accessible through his main
page. It's well worth a visit.
