Didn't think of the modified bulkhead, dooh!

I did try fitting a series version to my series 1 a couple of years ago but decided it needed too much cutting about and sold it at Newbury.

I've gone 5mm foil backed, topped off with a thin carpet,
So should do the job?

It was mainly done to stop heat build up, (Manifolds are well into the footwells)

Will see how it goes Wink 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

Did a spot of painting today, doors, door tops, truck cab, and 1 outer wing.

Still one more outer wing to go, but I ran out of thinners Evil or Very Mad
I’m quite pleased with the result, I added a matting agent so it doesn’t look to shiney against the older original paint,
I might give the front edge of the wing a buff, and see if I can go through to the alloy in places,
Just to tie it all in with the older inner wings.


Really starting to look like a Land Rover now Mr. Green
I did try to fit the handles in the doors, but I’ve brought the wrong ones!
That is a right PITA... Big Cry

Just clip the your 5 bar gate a couple of times and your nice straight wings will have patina!!! Rolling with laughter Working towards Carry on camping!

We are nearly there:D


Today I fitted some nice half leather heated seats,
Big thanks to Forum member TTF, (Tony) for the seats Thumbs Up

Blingy steering wheel etc....

And carried on fitting cab windows, and other interior parts.
Dirt shields for the wings are on, mud flaps etc,

Need to get some new seatbelts in the week, as the old ones look too tatty against the new seats!
Still a few bits to do, door tops need fitting up, but waiting for some glass, as I managed to drop one Big Cry The end is in sight. Thumbs Up
