Buy 5hit parts and spend hours wrestling them into place. Replaced the lower door seal, the one that rivets on and what a PITA. Anyroad the job is done now. I also removed the crappy 'land Rover' decals from the bonnet.
Did a bit of prep work on the two doors I'm putting up fer sale.

Some of that looks deeper than surface rust

Maybe. I put quite a bit of pressure on it and none of it caved. It’s almost like the previous owner had caked an inch of paint on it.Some of that looks deeper than surface rust
There’s a patched bit right of the accelerator too. Seems mostly fine. Some does look kinda deep and there is a small hole, still seems pretty sturdy.

As the iron collects oxygen it increases in mass and can create, what appears, to be a sturdy structure. It's nothing like the original metal though.
Also, it's probably so porous that the rust inhibitor will not be able to get in and around all of it. Even if it is very runny.

Driven it about today and nearly slid sideways into a new XC90 on a blind bend, I know the brakes work.
I also decided to change the power steering fluid.

Fat spring onions those.Fitted my new stereo today and removed the birds nest of old speaker wires and surplus cabling. Where there were spring onions there is now a conduit to Classic FM
Ours don’t get so fat, probably due to the extreme cold.We call them scallions
