Wow, thank you chaps!
The D pillars are wrapped in textured vinyl from the factory. I have removed the vinyl and painted directly onto the aluminium panel underneath  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

The Range Rovers first outing in 2020, just a trip down to the harbour for a meal. Every time I drive it I still can't quite believe how it was only a couple of years ago to how it is now

it has come a long way, I remember when me and my dad worked on the rover metro gta, We used to be out there a good few hours, and we would push forwards. Even if it was a little job it was a major step forward, when we got the car running for the 1st time, we were yeah, it was a light at the end of the tunnel. I do miss projects like this and my dad does too, if he wasn't such a moody arse we would have gone further with his land rover. But then again we will have to see what this year brings.

I remember seeing it before you had even moved the RRC from it's " parking space " , it has come a very long way George

Stunning work George.
I'm jealous at the time, space and skill you have, as well as the finished article. The level of quality shines through and I suspect if it had been to one of the "restorers" out there you'd be faced with a bill heading north of 4 figures. Keep up the cracking work and I'll wait patiently to see what the next project is 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Been to collect a new tailgate for the Range Rover today, a heater tab came off and a repair was unsuccessful. National Windscreens couldn't replace the glass so a complete tailgate was on the cards.
It'll be painted gloss black and rust treated before fitting to ensure a long service life

It seemed lighter than the original but I haven't looked closely to see if it actually is aluminium. I suspect it is. The cost (are you sitting down?) was
£50.00! It was covered by the glass cover on my insurance policy and, as they couldn't replace the glass in the original tailgate, the insurance company covered an entire replacement - result 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
