Good old fashioned roof flashing . I am happy to use this on the 90 - Just heat it up so it sticks . Its cheep and does the job - Just !!! Ive used it in the battery tray and also on the top of the tubs in the rear . On Fully " Built " cars - I would use dynamat , but that is probably...

Thanks Guys , Really enjoying doing this and am pleased with the results so far . All my spare time is now spent on this as I really need the workshop space back . will keep posting the updates

More work done . Cappings painted in one of the body colours ;) They are also clear coated here - I also did the corner pieces at the same time Cappings fitted with nice new pop rivets - Air rivet gun had to be purchased after about 3 attempts with a hand one - 1 , It hurts 2 , They...

Ive been playing about with seats for my build - So far have a set of MGF - Alfa - Defender and Discovery . I reakon I can get all in but want to use in the back as well so MGF are looking favourite . Thanks for the info and the drawings - I will be using that if you dont mind .

If I decide to keep for a fair bit Im sure I will re chassis it anyway - Also fit a " new " engine . However I get bored of my daily's very quickly or someone offers be something I want more . Its one of the reasons I dont work that often on my " proper " cars , I dont want to get bored of...

I use a thin layer of etch and then a base primer - Filler primer is exactly as it sounds - Its a thick primer that allows you to get imperfections out of the panel . Using a guide coat you can block the paint back to get a totally smooth surface before top coat . I use this method all the time...

a little more The first shot of the colour - VW sunburst red for a polo from mid 00's The bottom of the tub was cleaned and then painted in rubber trunk bed paint - finally covered in some carpet I had in the workshop The rear cappings were stripped and painted in kbs rust stop...

Trust me - I am beginning to realise why so many landy's have dinks and donks on the bodywork . The metal is so soft and I spend as much time trying to shrink it as straighten it and all the body panels are so flat . Anyway now that I have started I dont have alot of choice . onwards and...

The keen eyed amongst you will have noticed in the first picture of the tub that I have removed all the cappings and rear corner pieces - This was to get rid of oxidation , but I will also paint these and under them so I dont get it in the future.

A little more . Managed to fabricate an upper bulkhead repair - its pretty good around this area except for the inner section on one side - so I made a new piece up and welded it in - No before picks sorry I also got rid of the ugly weld line on the pillar that is from the factory I...

2.5 TD - 155k But to its credit it starts on the button and there is NO smoke , just noisy and slow , but figure the little wheels may have something to do with that as well as the motor . and I thought old VW's were slow !!!

Im not planning on changing the spec mechanically at the moment , I have new wheels and tyres , straighten it and paint it . I want to do something with the interior to make it less farm truck and more " Plush " - Hopefully something a little different . If we decide its a keeper for a bit...

The MOT ran out and before the strip down I decided it would be a good idea to see whether it needed major work before I got into it - It was cheep enough to flip if I needed to . Best way I could think of was to get a new MOT - so off it went and failed on the rear exhaust section and a non...

Where abouts are you buddy ?

So - I have been lurking on here for a while and thought id better post up some pictures of my 90 . I am very new to Landrovers , however I restore old VW's for a living so am comfortable with mechanics and bodywork . The vehicle came to me via a friend from a local farm and has been used...
