Nice touch. I like the details.

No Land Rover progress but I have just noticed something. I’m currently on the ferry about to depart to Rotterdam for a little half term family jollity. There’s a complimentary mini bar so I’m feeling fine. Just watched Ice Cold in Alex and in one of the final scenes Anthony Quinn is being...

Don’t worry, that shiny won’t last long. 😆

It was 2.5mm x 12mm. I got 19 metres for about £14. From a company called Reddiseals via ebay. First time I’ve used butyl tape so I’ve got nothing to compare it to but it certainly seemed to grip the glass a treat. I cut a bit off to test and even after mauling it about and experimenting it...

That's interesting about the Durafix on body panels. I made a right mess with them when I tried. Everything distorted like mad. I think my torch wasn't hot enough. Either that or you're a wizard.

Dry, undercover workspace is worth it's weight in gold. Good on yer.

Thanks. It is really nice to fit something back on with the intention that it's back on for good.

Thank you. I appreciate that particularly as your work on the range rover is out of this world good.

Thanks. It’s been a long time alright. I’m not getting much time at the moment but every bit of progress counts and you’ll see it here first.

Let's get it fitted then. A large part actually being refitted? Making progress? Steady sailer! A nice new seal. Will it do any good? Posh brackets. And there you go. Aren't they tall? Ages since I saw it like that. Also looks very different under the dust sheets in the garage. Looking...

The old sealer was still nice and soft. It's good stuff. But so is this butyl tape. Nice and easy to use and grips the glass like nobody's business. I managed to find just the right size so it hardly needed any trimming. I didn't have much faith in those little self tappers to be able...

I'm trying to reuse as many old parts as possible. Maybe pushing my luck with the windscreens but there you go. Looks like someone in the past left it a bit too long between wiper blade changes. Some deep scratches but mostly lighter ones as if it's been sanded. I got one of those kits from...

Next the saga of the windscreen. Not bad, a bit of patina (rust). I'm not keen on painting the galv bits. It's probably the most sensible solution but it's not for me. Knowing what a fuss arse I am you would probably assume that I would get them re-galved but I don't think there's anyone very...

@Bobsticle warned me about chafing. Just to prove that I pay attention here goes. Seems these can be a risk to fuel pipes. Some edge strip and super glue later and hopefully another crisis averted.

Next stage of the petrol tank. We got a halfords voucher as a special offer when we bought something or other so I went to have a shufty at what I could get. I ended up with a can of that stone chip resistant paint to coat the tank in. I really like it. Just how chip resistant it really is...

Ok, see what you think of this. Starts here. P clip is under that other clip. I have no idea what that’s for. Here’s a better look. Then it’s off down the chassis rail.It’s clipped in another p clip that’s welded to the chassis just under the front edge of the seatbox.Or at least that’s how it...

Will do. I might not be able to get out there for a day or two but will get them as soon as I can.👍

Mine is the same with the p-clip on the back of the gearbox. It's on the PTO cover plate. Then mine loops to a clip on top of the chassis rail, passenger side about in the middle of the door gap. Then in a big loop under the bulkhead. Don't know after that until it goes back through the bulkhead.

Blimey! That is some next level stuff!

I've also been sorting out the windscreen. Started with these things. A bit of a state but they came up well on the wire wheel on the bench grinder. This was the point when I realised that there was a little brass seal round the base. Seems like these are a prime place for water leaking into...
