Some welds are visible..but they are strong and clean welds. I considered filling over some of mine..but to be honest, I kind of like them. Show that the bulkhead is solid (which it most definately is..) and good for a fair few more years..
I'm sure if you discussed your requirements with him (Lyndon) he would talk to you about the finish and quality that he can produce. But honestly, the welds, where visible, are top quality. Not being funny..but it's an old vehicle...you can have a top job..and it still won't be perfect...embrace the fact that your restoring..not simply building from new. At the start of my rebuild, I hated the idea of imperfections, but now..I really like them. They don't affect the overall look..at all, and just add to the character.
You can have a vehicle that looks perfect..but clearly isn't (i.e. more time and money spent on filler work), or have a Land Rover that is solid and built to last that still looks fantastic..take your pick. Being truthful..unless you have unlimited time and money..you can't have both.
