Oh, that is so great. Such peace of mind for the future, as is all of your build.

Good for you Dinnu, this is such a rich and solid build experience. I am so inspired Thumbs Up

Cant believe that it has been 5 months since any decent work has been done. Been extremely busy with work and other stuff, so the 90 had to wait Big Cry
However last couple of days managed to get some time, painted the rear door frame and the insides of the skin. The skin has been today re glued and edges folded on the frame.
Hopefully soon will have the door prepped for painting.
A little preview

Uploading pictures with some weekend work. The sanding work was even more therapeutic Smile I also realize that the door was already painted once after it left the factory.

Cheers. The eagle eyed might be able to see a slight colour mismatch. Which is expected with painting tub and rear door more than 5 years apart πŸ˜… 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Thankfully the dirtier it is the less you will notice the mismatch Thumbs Up

Good job though.

Thanks for the positive comments.
Hahaa lets see how clean I will maintain it…but agree the dirt will mask the colour mismatch eventually Rolling with laughter but first need to get out in some sun (or rain) Whistle 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Work is keeping me very busy (and away from home / Landrovers)... but now installing the hardware to the rear door. Glass was first to go in.
