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 !

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 the speaker hole. unfortunately I cant do anything...

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 old vinyl on the upper dash as it was well stuck...

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 dome stainless steel Allen bolts. Finished the...
