Driving down to Herford tomorrow afternoon with my youngest William then off to the Malvern landrover show on Saturday for some retail therapy \ spares hunt… heard they have a good autojumble have armed myself with a highlight pen and a long list.

Its starting to look like Christmas everywhere you go … Shiney landy bits adorne the man cave ! Very happy with the quality, a few hours of cleaning with a flap disc, few holes to re threaded and jobs a goodun!

Whooooohoooo! Galvanized bits are back and looking bloody amazing! Apparently theres an extra levy on the standard galvanising service its called the silver service 😂 , or in this case a tip !

I'd put some sound deadening stickies on that before re-fitting it ... yer know yer want to ...

Ok so theres more glue on my hands than there is in the tin bit aftet some stretching, pulling and pushing I’m pleased with the results, unfortunately the glue reacted slightly with the expanding foam and theres a slight dip where I’ve filled in...

Bit of filler to smooth out the dash, vinyl cut to size ready to glue.

Re shaped the foam backing then stuck it back onto the steel panel using high temp contact adhesive, all the gaps filled with fire resistant expanding foam. Will trim it back and sand smooth tomorrow once its fully cured. I’ve retrimmed over the...

Lower dash cleaned up small repair done to lower edge, then rust converted and sprayed. Made a new lid out of 1.6mm galv sheet cut shaped drilled and sprayed. Foam all cleaned ready to be stuck on tomorrow when the high temp contact adhesive...

Well done Tommy :). You make it sounds so easy, looks great, have a beer:D. J

Next up on the list is to eradicate the tin worm that living in the dashboard, patch up, paint and re cover.

Heater box stripped, cleaned, painted, re rivited, re stickered, polished and photographed. Jus like that !

Chassis build up is on hold again for the moment as I need to focus on completing a different project first. However I have been looking at developing a new warning light cluster. My original idea was to remove this cluster and the smaller...

Rude not to celebrate todays progress with a beer ! Or better still 2 beers ! Cheers everyone

Day in the man hut today… another productive day, cleaning screen hindges, bulkhead flaps, window claps, and heater box, everything ali was epoxy etched, then everything primed. Heater box and dash panel rust treated then sprayed black. Will need...

Oh and I’ve found the ideal spray booth ! Forget building it in the garage! I’ve just been granted planning permission for an extension on the back of the house replacing my conservatory which we seldom used for a 8x6mt kitchen / family room, so...

Steady progress this weekend have got the gearbox tunnel cover and the steel bit that joins it to the bulkhead ready for primer after some patch repairs. Handbrake and gear sick cleaned and painted, window hindges cleaned up and ready for some...

Yes price is per kg, not sure how much that is at the moment. Previously Ive sent them to Roften in Merseyside but this time they are heading to Shropshire galv.

I’ve had two bulkheads galvanized so far and had no issues, if they do decide to drill a hole I can always fill it in with lead solder before painting, I’ve used this method on galvanized front bumpers to fill in the end cap holes. Beauty with...

As the weather is so bloody awful today think I’ll hide in the garage, plan is to patch up the bulkhead to tunnel cover (sand blasted revealed a few holes) then straight out the tunnel panel, clean up the heater box and fan and get everything...

All the steel work including the bulkhead and inner wings are back from the blasters, a few drain holes added to the roll bar hoop and they are ready to go to the galvanisers next Wednesday. Notice that I’ve attached some unistrut as a brace...

Its done !!! And Im also done in ! 12 hrs in the man cave, 1lt of etch primer, 2 lts of high build primer, 3 sheets or 80 120 and 400 grit block sanding pads and two bottles of Proper Job IPA and the tub is finally ready for top coat.

Cant wait to get this rear tub in primer it’s starting to grind! I would say to anyone restoring a landy that it’s the most time consuming piece of the jigsaw to get right and the most visible once done, get it wrong and it will annoy you every...

Brilliant. Very good show on the work you’re doing. Makes me want to hunt out another 90 and get tore in. Good progress mate…keep it coming. 🤙

Righ hand side of tub skimmed with fine filler and block sanded to smooth out any small dents

Tub underside all finished, etch primed and then undersealed with gravitex stone guard, ready for primer and paint. Will start on the outside next flattern then fill and block sand.

I have used HB Body Pro S115 and HMP seam seal both as equally as good. But the HB stuff does dry slightly harder

And in between all of the landy stuff I managed to give the bike a service before the trip

Rear wheel arches strengthened with formed inner ali sections panel bonded into place, few other repair sections fitted. New inner wheel arches bonded and rivited along with new floor and rear cross section all bonded rivited and bolted using 5mm...

New 1.6mm ali inner wing liners cut to shape and ready to be panel bonded and rivited over the original wings to give a smooth as new finish to the inside of the tub, also bonded 2mm sheet to the original floor here it is with some weight on it...

Ooo the good old starter handle hole….
