A bit more fettling.

Rubbed down the side step tubes which had quite a lot of rust and bubbling, got them nice and smooth, put rust killer on, then 2 coats of Hammerite satin black.

Funny how when you have a tin of Hammerite out you start painting all sorts! , gave the rear end, tow bar, crossmember etc a new coat.

Looks much better. 2016 D4 HSE

A couple of goodies arriving in the post this week. A very exciting one tomorrow and a smaller one the day after. Should make a significant difference to the look of the car.

Looking forward to the LRO show and hopefully picking up a couple of bits there too. 2016 D4 HSE

Nice thread! Interesting to see the Stornaway/black colour scheme for inspiration.

Nice thread & a great vehicle. Just one thing, you are missing a bolt from your left hand rear cross member tab?

Yes I am, and am not!

I think the previous owner had a ladder on the back and when they had it removed, one of the tub bolts sheared off.

Not to worry, I now have a bolt/screw removal kit and a full set of stainless steel bolts for the entire vehicle which I shall gradually replace, probably when I do the Dinitrol stage.

Well spotted! Thumbs Up 2016 D4 HSE

That is a very good idea. I'm not a rivet counter by the way, but do notice missing bolts. Rolling Eyes

New wheels have arrived.

Now to give them a few coats of Porboys Wheel sealant while it's easy to.

For those who are interested (as there's been many threads about Sawtooth copies) these are from Nene 4x4, who give excellent customer service, and supply the wheels with a lifetime warranty.

I have no issues buying these over much more expensive OE from a Dealer. 2016 D4 HSE
