Well matey, I'm nearing the end and almost ready for paint. I've just used filler to level off the tub, I couldn't for the life of me find a solid TD5 one, same with the doors. Hope to have paint on in the next 3 month :)

Have no idea what colour...any ideas.?

G4 orange is very nice on the right vehicle :)
 
G4 Orange is very striking!!!

Mmmmm....I think I'm rather keen on the good old fashioned solid Red with a white roof.

Red and white is also a good combination.
This is my old one.

So more prep work today.
Both doors and the truck cab roof are now ready for primer.
Will hopefully get that done first thing in the morning.
Crap pictures I know. But it was dark when I came in again.

Hopefully the weather will hold out, As I want every thing except the arches painted this weekend.
 
Black roof is hotter white roof is cooler. Roofs the same color was Land Rover saving production money=more profit
 
Today is a good day :) Nothing fitted but plenty of painting done. In fact I fitted one thing the vent flaps :p

Doors prepped.

No pics of the grill I seem to have forgot.

Wont be fitting the doors for a few days as I'm waiting for some new door handles to arrive.

Also managed to paint the roof and the rear arches but it was to dark to get pics by the time I came in.
Also coughing and wheezing with all the paint inhalation. Really should learn my lesson, as it'll probably end badly one day :eek:
 
Just been out to have a look at the spats and the roof, twas kinda dark when I was painting them so was just hoping they came out alright.
