Oh, that is so great. Such peace of mind for the future, as is all of your build.
Good for you Dinnu, this is such a rich and solid build experience. I am so inspired |

Cant believe that it has been 5 months since any decent work has been done. Been extremely busy with work and other stuff, so the 90 had to wait However last couple of days managed to get some time, painted the rear door frame and the insides of the skin. The skin has been today re glued and edges folded on the frame. Hopefully soon will have the door prepped for painting.

Uploading pictures with some weekend work. The sanding work was even more therapeutic I also realize that the door was already painted once after it left the factory.

Cheers. The eagle eyed might be able to see a slight colour mismatch. Which is expected with painting tub and rear door more than 5 years apart π

wow it's been that long apart
You've done a great job matching the door to the tub in my eyes 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper. Clayton. |

Thankfully the dirtier it is the less you will notice the mismatch Good job though. |

Thanks for the positive comments.
Hahaa lets see how clean I will maintain itβ¦but agree the dirt will mask the colour mismatch eventually but first need to get out in some sun (or rain) 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

Work is keeping me very busy (and away from home / Landrovers)... but now installing the hardware to the rear door. Glass was first to go in.
