Another weekend & a bit more work on the landrover
Finally Fixed the hoops & the bulkhead removal bars - Because of the position of the hoop bars mounting, I had to drill through the Hoop mounting to fix the bulkhead removal bar to the hoop bar, so all in all a very strong and connected unit  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Fixed the front drivers side Door gutters. Given its a landrover tolerances a few washers were needed to get the alignment right. I suspect will need a bit more fettling once the hood is on Click image to enlarge 2020 P300 HSE |

Next it was fit the rear tailgate hinges - Excellent product from Purely Metal
End result opened Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Then it was fit the spare wheel carrier - I went for the galvanised finish as I think it blends in better with the back of the vehicle - Thanks Brendan excellent choice - I used Brendan's knowledge to get the right product Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge That was all practical stuff, then I fitted a bit of bling ex FCX Click image to enlarge I finally took the hood out & laid it over the hoops so it can acclimatise before I try fitting it ! What I have noticed is that apart from the bulkhead removal bar, nothing has comes with any fitting instructions, it is very much trial & error to get everything fitting correctly  saying that it has mostly been straight forward although sometimes it would have been nice to have instructions for a sense check on what I was doing 
Apologies for the state of my garage, we had to empty our caravan to go back to Swift to sort a leak  , so have the contents of the caravan including all the cushions for 6 weeks 2020 P300 HSE |

Re the carrier its Safari equip from Brendan
I still have to:- Finish the passenger side drip guards Fit the hood Fit the alive tuning suspension Fit the new wheels Take the inside apart to fit an alarm & at the same time fit dynamat actually a cheaper alternative whose name eludes me Dynamat the rear tub Probably will fit heated screen & seat wiring for future use when the dash is in pieces ! That's about it for now 2020 P300 HSE |

I've cocked up on a wheel purchase as they just look wrong
Will have to stay on the vehicle for a while & will see if they grow on me Soft top fitted - at least I feel I'm getting somewhere now 
Click image to enlarge As you can see wheels are just not right Click image to enlarge Yes have some retro badges to fit but just some ordinary LR mudflaps 2020 P300 HSE |
