A little more work done . Roof drying after base coat Base coat finished Clear coat on and drying between coats - roof seal all replaced before painting Dyring after final paint Will require colour sanding but there is alot of clear so will be no problem. Once...

Strangely my Landrover could well end up being sold to fund a T4 or T5 . I was going to try and keep it but as my business builds VW's I need a rolling advert for the shows . I am lucky enough to have some pretty rare cars that I am building for myself , 1948 Chevy pickup , 1964 21 window...

No problem ;>)

I always wanted to make it look tidy - possibly too good really but it's what I wanted . Glad you like it , I'm really enjoying doing it , most of my customers cars take months if not years to finish - this is about 10 weeks from start to finish

Yes - I will keep all the rivets down the sides and at rear in bare steel - I think it looks good against the shiny paint - not sure what it would look like on a green one !!

Hi Sam - I'm not a paint man at all - making it up as I go along - I use 2k which is a chemical reaction - the heat helps it settle flat - celly would require heat to help it go off so I guess at least 10 degrees

I have had to move a load of cars around in the workshop so that gave me an opportunity to get the 90 outside for a bit , I had to take the rear sides as they were not attached :eek: The colours look much better in natural light . Back inside and time to tackle the roof This has...

I hope so , looking at the rain I could need it !! :)

Time to start putting it back together . wing tops and fronts on , also the grill surround - all loose for a bit of adjustment bonnot fitted , a better idea of the 2 tone look grill and surrounds going on new side lights and indicators all sorted - I have used all...

Sounds like a plan :cool:

I have just resprayed my 90 - Its taken a while to get the finish I wanted but its a bit OTT really - If you use a compressor that will pass 5 - 6 cfm and a half decent gun - Devilbiss do a great gun for 50 odd quid and its great - but you can use something much cheeper and get a good result -...

This is the first time I have touched a Landrover - and trust me they are really easy to work on - they all unbolt and then bolt back together - Very little welding and very few box sections to rot out . Just take it all apart and look at what you have got - then choose an end to start at...

More The front wings were straightened and flatted , then it was paint again. I cant believe how much work goes into getting these straight - I can see why so many people use chequer plate . A little more shiny than the original Nato Green Bonnet being colour sanded between coats of...

That makes 2 of us :D:D

Paint is a PPG mixed paint - 2K - colour is VW sunburst Red , It was used on polo's a number of years ago - 2005 ish . Its a nice deep red with a hint of orange about it - Looks good in the sun . Nothing special about it just walk into your paint shop with the code and they will mix it -...

A bit more work done Bonnet hinge in base coat - just to see how it looked in paint - It will be black eventually - to match the arches and the bonnet ;-) Window hinges in base and clear Bulkhead in base and clear The side panel painted - lack of factory weld looks...

Its certainly blue ;)

Give me a call - the guy I share a workshop with breaks freelanders - always has wheels for sale and not silly in price . PM number to you . Cheers Jon

Im fairly sure it came from B&Q or similar . Cheap as chips and good for what it is . If it was for a keeper then Dynamat or equivalent would be way forward . Roof flashing in my Chevy Stepside - No Way !!!!
