Sodbury?

At the risk of sounding incredibly dumb, if I bought a 2 piece frame, could it be butchered to make a one piece? Or am I just taking this "as original as possible" too far?

Hi everyone! I've come to a dead end sourcing new 2nd row safari one piece doors for Noel. Sp said no Paint man said no. So, it's either 2 piece, which I'll do IF you think the following are beyond economical repair. I know the bottom/side frame sections are available from YRM (and others) but...

Is that it!! My old chassis makes that look brand new!

Thread 'Rear wheel arch repair panel' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rear-wheel-arch-repair-panel.376874/ Anything here?

Looked at paint man Good for the fronts, but don't seem to do 1 piece second row 🤷

Morning all. Just a quick one. The time has come to purchase a new set of doors for Noel, my 109 station wagon. Have found where to get the two piece front doors, but am struggling to find the one piece second row doors. The only supplier I found (below) is no longer stocking them 😕 Any...

And don't tighten body panels, bulkhead and side frames until everything is lined up and packed/shimmed. Don't ask me why I know 😭

Looks tidy. Keep everything as whole/complete as possible. Photos of everything. Bag and label everything. Allow triple you budget Allow ten times the time. Have fun Don't throw anything away!!

When I re chassis'ed Noel, I used a Richards chassis (👍👍👍) And replaced all bushes, engine and gearbox mounts , brake pipes, clips/brackets etc with new.

Had to adjust just about every single item. Never, ever fit anything tight. Roof, side frames, tubs, wings bulkheads etc before checking everything lines up. We live and learn 🤔🙄

You can, but from bitter experience, I wouldn't recommend it 😭

I had another look, it's totally my fault. They do with or without mesh. I thought that meant the actual mesh screen. What it actually means is recessed for mesh, or not recessed for mesh. Looks like if I cut of the tabs I can custom fit it 🤔🙄

Bugger. I think I see what I did wrong. I obviously forgot to choose the mesh version 🤯 So, can I just fit it flat?
