They look pretty similar. That would account for the gaiter being pretty stressed. Cheers.

We’ve got an eye on the next project... turning my 110 DCPU into a USW. have just won some station wagon sides on eBay so I need to get them covered in aluminium sheet. And there’s the small matter of finding a roof and a complete rear door assembly in good nick. The chassis and engine are sound but I need some Td5 tuning magic. And some new prop shaft UJs. And some doors. The list goes on

And a gratuitous daylight shot before we’d painted the rear load area...

Looking good with the seats and cubby box now in and the colour is fab in the day-light  Clayton.

Cheers. Very kind. It should be quite smart when we’re done. However I feel a bit humbled when I see some of the other threads on here!

Yes it will look smart
the main thing is that your " saving " another LR and doing what you can with the budget you/son has got  Clayton.

Colour mismatch is (I hope) due to wet paint and only one coat.

Quick update:
Roof is bolted back on with a new roof/windscreen seal (that was a pig to get in!). Back door is on, with centre hinge holes drilled and etch primed. Doors are on with etch primed hinges but the hinge bolts are too short so new security bolts are on the way. Door seals are all back on. Door mirrors are etch primed ready for black paint. Next bits: New door bolts. Transfer door locks and glazing for all three doors. Re-paint outside surface of bulkhead. New rear door lower seal. Second coat of paint for exterior. New steering box. Re-painted wheels. New A/T tyres. Grease propshafts. Lots more too - but the pile of bits we stripped off is getting ever smaller. Work is really busy so I'm aiming for end Feb for MoT with an aspiration to get it all done before then. V8 running really well. |
