Thanks Geoff.
It won't really look a great deal deal better on the outside as it looked pretty good to start with, its almost a shame that all the hard word etc will be covered over.
I'm looking forward to the first test drive but that's still a little way off yet

The 8k outlay, are you paying for labour included in that or is that just parts? if so whats the labour and parts coming in at?

Thanks guys, it's nice to see it getting put back together now.
Still a fair bit to do though but the end is in sight

Thanks Stu
I have a problem though and can't get new rubbing strips, i've seen some aftermarket ones
but there nothing like the originals.
There are a few odds and ends available but not a full set so looks like i'll have to leave it painted
with these which is a shame.
I'm looking into trying to get a set made, i wonder who made the original ones LR bought ?
