You're repair is looking great so farDoor switches? What is this newfangled witchcraft? I have recently upgraded to series 3 style doors with the sliding windows.
Part 1 of the repair seems to have gone OK given how thin some of the remaining metal is. Have got a decent oxford welder though, which makes things easier.
Yep, one thing leads to another. That's why I said you 'might' get away with a full body lift off. I'm sure you'll want to improve all of the things you see when you lift it offThing is if I take the heater and brake master cylinder off, I have to powder coat them. I’ll save that all for when I do the chassis.
I will say that despite all the scare stories about them not fitting I have just fitted a galv bulkhead to my fire damage rebuild. Although it was a refurbished rather than new one it went in with no more effort than I would expect any other bulkhead swap to go. A bit of pulling and punching to get the bolts though but when you consider land rover tolerances was not too bad. I would not expect any swap toh just bolt up perfectly, neither the bulkhead or chassis were that accurate when in the factory and years of use later things will have settled and moved slightly.

Quite a bit already done actually that will put it in good stead for the chassis eventually. New battery box, 3.9V8, vented front disks, rear disks rather than drums, all new bushes everywhere, stainless headers, bulkhead removed, sunroof gone, rear fold down seats, rebuilt gearbox arriving in a week or two, etc etc.
So I'll probably do a front drive respray it this year too
