I don’t have much of an update as we’ve been waiting on a few parts. These photos are from last week.
All windows are now back in, the floors and rear bulkhead are now painted and the roof is about to go back on.

I’m missing the front panel that fills the gap between the headlining and the windscreen.
Does anyone have one that they’d consider selling, or at least loaning out so that I can make a template? ‘68 V8 hybrid

It’s finished other than new rear door seals and wheels (zero offset ‘wolf’ in Limestone).
They painted the galv without asking, which I was initially upset about, but both of the tub corners were damaged and needed some attention, and given that I’ve never been to the bodyshop I’ll let them off.
I doubt I’ll ever sell it, but if I do and want it original it’s not exactly difficult to spend a day taking them off and having them dipped.
I’m looking forward to seeing how leak free a Series is with new seals everywhere! ‘68 V8 hybrid

The bodyshop finished about six weeks ago, but we’ve been waiting for wheels, which I was slow to order and they were slow to deliver.

I haven’t seen it yet - just a couple of snaps from them.

Just the rear seats and door trim to sort now. I need to fit longer wheel studs because there’s not much thread left with these wheels on. ‘68 V8 hybrid

I finally drove it for the first time in seven years! As expected, a little bit of tweaking to do, but nothing major.




One item that I don’t have is covers for the wiring for the lights in the the rear tub.
Did Series 3 have these like on a Defender? ‘68 V8 hybrid

I've got a couple of pairs of Defender ones i don't need, if they're the same as Series covers let me know and i'll put them in the post.

Series covers were aluminium, decent things and better than the horrible plastic Defender items. You can get replicas from YRM (I have them on my Puma DC since they are much more rugged and less intrusive than the plastic things).

You have to modify them to fit a late Defender, certainly if like mine it has the sloping side panels.

I've got 3 sets of covers, one set definitely came off of a Defender and the other 2 are the same so i assume they also came from Defenders. All 3 sets are aluminium.
