Too true. She would probably hoover the carpets and clean the glass whilst completely ignoring the welding

My wife was happy with tickets to the ideal home exhibition on her birthday. Fortunately I was ill and she went with son #2 instead
I hate going inside the M25

Hmm decisions decisions. Saved up for double glazing for the house and got it cheaper than I thought. I have enough to get my front wings for the rangy so thats all good but with what's left do I get the paint for the rangy and try and get it finished faster. Or do I find out if this is still available 
Please reply Paint or SIII

I think I will have to say paint :-( I know where you are coming from but the s3 would be a whole new can of worms. And two projects like that side by side would kill all your resources.
You would also have to increase the time with the wife to earn extra brownie points, time you could productively pit to th rr.
Btw are the pub nights weekly or monthly? I seem to have dispensation :-D

Day on the welding, again.
Got the sill fitted, had to cut away the a pillar to give me clearance to get the sill in as I had welded the mounts on, but it was rotten anyway.
Used the arc welder to do the seam on the top and the sides of the B pillar, only blew holes where the floor was rotted so quite impressed, much better weld than the mig as well.
Got the outer arch in place as well, took a bit to get right for some reason, other side went on better, was half inch out to start with and the door wouldn't shut without catching so re aligned and all good now
I do wish I stopped finding rot in hard places to fix.
Got it fixed before it got out of shape, found a bit of metal with a bend that was just right.
The end is nigh, few bits of patching on the arches, footwell to weld in and some bits to fix in the back then the fun stuff begins, cleaning the metal off for painting.
Took the pedal box out to make it easier access for welding. As it's going manual it needed to come out anyway.
More work on Friday.
Was good to see djdommyb, welcome distraction

I agree. If the outside is poor then so too is the inside.
Apparently land rover have recently developed a new chassis paint that claim will last 10 years. There was some talk of it on the series 1 forum.
Then clean out as much of the inside as possible and waxoil.

It's not a forward step they had paint that lasted 20 years inns act there are sections of paint on the old
Mans 1966 motor unfortunately lead based paint is banned
