    Nice one. Thanks for that. I'll give them a go.

    Series 3 Where do you get your vinyl from?

    Evening everyone. I’m getting ready to re-cover my series 3 dash so I’ll be needing vinyl. Can anyone recommend a supplier or is it just a case of trawling eBay? I hear that 4 way stretch is the best. I’ve already got high temperature contact adhesive from car builder solutions so that’s sorted...

    What a lovely, neat job. Great pictures too. Will really help anyone considering doing a servo change.

    I think the series colour was marine blue but windjammer sounds pretty groovy.

    Yeah. Every bit helps. It is deep bronze green. Original colour and my favourite. Quite partial to farmer blue as well though.

    I've had a roll of foam in the garage for years. I think it's called EVA foam. No idea where it came from but i'm going to use it to cover the dash. It's the same thickness as the original in most places but the edges need a double thickness to get it looking as it used to. Never used contact...

    I was hoping to get the vinyl off the dash padding but still be able to use the padding again. I knew it was damaged but I wanted to try to repair it. These pictures actually make it look a lot better than it is especially round that bit with the round ended, oblong indentation. It just...

    Steve's unexpected Series 3 rebuild.

    Hello. Glacial progress continues. Might as well show you what little there is. Primer went on with brush and roller. So did the top coat. The finish is ok. I know a lot of people get fantastic results with brush and roller but I don't. To be honest I could have done far more prep but...

    Great work. Life does get in the way of the fun stuff doesn't it. Just keep making a bit of progress wherever you can.

    Steve's unexpected Series 3 rebuild.

    Still battling away. So much stuff going on! I don't think I did any landy at all for the first 6 months of this year while I did last revision with my lad for his GCSE's. A levels now and i'm still his assistant/proof reader/editor. Also he's doing photography so will occasionally come home on...

    Thanks for that. That's interesting as with those flats I think I can only do 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock. I'll have to look closer. Anyway that proves it doesn't need to be at the highest point which is what I had convinced myself it should be.

    Steve's unexpected Series 3 rebuild.

    Help required please. I’ve had memory failure about the filler neck and which way up it goes. Looks like I also forgot to take any pictures when it came apart. It’s got flat bits so can only go one of two ways. But is it breather pipe up or breather pipe down or does it not make any difference...

    S3 bulkhead pillar foot ?

    I bought some Britpart ones before I knew any better when I did mine ages ago. I had to chop them about all over the place to make them fit. My landy is a proper old mongrel though so who knows what else was out of line. If they are Britpart maybe send back/get rid and get some from somewhere...

    Only time will tell then. Maybe that's what i'll call the landy when it's done, Bubbles.
