Never have truer words been spoken there haha. Just one of those lovely inconveniences lol Well last night my mate phoned me and said that he just cracked on as he had a bit of spare time and has fixed the other side that was cracked aswell. No pictures of that, but that means tonight will drive over and collect the other door from his so i have both doors to spray this weekend and then should be able to fit them back to the 90. along with changing the striker plate and fitting the door cards. and then fitting the brackets to the seats. Going to be a busy weekend  1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold

Well in true bank holiday style it was over in a flash and its back to work haha.
But i did manage to get the doors painted which is a bonus. So it started off with Saturday just sanding them down and then giving them a coat of primer. Sunday was the day where they were then painted blue and given a clear coating. and Monday was a kind of rest day but also the general house tidying jobs haha. Saturday Get the primer paint on the doors  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Sunday Set up my Shanty Town (gazebo which didnt have any sides so i got a lot of old bed sheets etc and made my own sides  ) It was also rather windy
Click image to enlarge Then move the cars back abit just incase paint got on them Click image to enlarge Crack on with painting Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Then Clear Coat Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge And left to dry for 5 hours probably not long enough but they felt dry when i picked them up and as you can tell not exactly the best way to paint body panels but be reet 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold

Thats the doors back on the 90, After weeks of repairing and painting the doors they are finally on and they lined up rather well. After the series doors didnt really fit. And these doors now actually close. A few little jobs left on them like putting some barrel locks in as they dont have any and window winder for one door then door cards back on.
Plus got round to test fitting on of the new seats i bought a few months back CLOSED and a nice flush fit. 
Click image to enlarge NOT CLOSED Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Seat is in and happy with how it looks and a bonus is its comfy

Aye, i am much happier with these doors on now that they are repaired and what not, even though i said at some point in this thread i prefered the series doors. Can always put the series doors back on it if i want to at some stage. And yes i didnt want to get out of the seat once i sat in it and could drive it easier than sat on the seat box haha. I have to admit i did close all the doors and park it up and have a little moment of self reflection of "i have missed this". As much as the mini is nice to drive and cruise in it just doenst have that special feeling when in the landy haha 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold

Sprayed the door cards black from the original gray. And then just a quick test fit to see what they look like as i need to fix the barrel on the doors so they can lock. Also put the wind deflectors on the doors

Spent the day putting new door handles on fitting the barrels into them, The passanger door went smoothly and is now done it locks and shuts
Just need to get the window winder from the garage at home and fit that.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The drivers door was a bit of a stubborn git to do, and well the old door handle ended up getting some brute force used on it, but in doing so lost 2 of the Linkage clips and the door couldnt get finished off so ordered new linkage clips and will fit them as soon as they arrive so i can then finish off the drivers door and put the door card on and that will be that job done. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge And lastly i am know for doing many bodge jobs and this one was not any different from any of my previous bodge jobs. Plus am a tight fisted Yorkshire man. "It'll Be Reet" Made my own door stays

Finished off the drivers door this now locks and does everything a door should do
Click image to enlarge then i found the Heater duct at the back of the container and realized i had forgotten to put it back on when i put the wing on, and as it was a tight fit i had to use a bit of help from my trusty friend the rubber hammer. Click image to enlarge Now thats on the washer bottle can go on to the wing. 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold 1989 Land Rover 90 - Rebuilding/built - its a project 2002 Land Rover Discovery TD5 - Sold 2017 Mini JCW F56 - Current Daily Driver |
