She tried foam under it but couldn't quite get the hang of it so going to put a second layer on instead. Kind of wished we had bought thicker vinyl but then it would have been harder to stretch. Norrie .

Well my Wife recovered the dash today when I was at work and it doesn't look too bad. We're not happy with the top dash so going to put another coat of vinyl on it. Norrie.

Thanks guys. I hope to have it on the road next weekend after a 6 Month rebuild. Norrie.

It's £250 For a complete leather dash covering. Stuff that it's a ****ty old Landy. lol.

Glazed the windscreen today and finished bolting the roof down. Oh and before anyone says anything I'm going to change the bolts for shorter ones.

Rubbed down with a DA sander with 320 grit. Etch primed, Undercoated usually 2 coats. Flattened back down with 600/800 grit and then 2 coats of gloss. Tried not to thin the paint but had trouble with the hot weather so thinned it about 10%. It's not as good as it looks in the pics but it's food...

Glazed the door tops today. Not a hard job at all. Don't know why I've put it off for weeks. The kit I got from Paddocks didn't include the seal between the glass but I've worked out I can fit it later.

Riveted the roof back together today. I was going to hire the proper rivet squeezer and hollow rivets but there was a 3 week waiting list. I managed to borrow my mates pneumatic riveter and just used solid rivets. My mate used to be an aircraft engineer so had skin pins to lign everything up...

I've got Evo stick contact adhesive which is very good but it's not a spray so may order some trimbond then. Thanks. Norrie .

Thanks for that. I've ordered 5 Metres off eBay as it wasn't to expensive and I might need to recover a seat. I'm thinking contact adhesive will help keep it in place. Norrie.

I'm looking to recover my top and bottom dash. Has anyone done this and how much material did you use? Thanks. Norrie.

Very nice. You had better sell that Porsche to pay to restore the Landy though. ;) Norrie.

Ok after reading some horror stories of dash fires etc I’m thinking of fitting a bis switch to enable me to isolate all the electrics at once. Where do you guys have them fitted and where can you buy a good quality one. I’m thinking on the seat box somewhere. Norrie.

Well I've started work on the Landy again. That's the sides installed with new seals and the doors are on. I still need to rivet the roof back together before fitting that. Norrie.

Thanks guys. Just what I needed. Norrie .

Ok so the roof is painted ready to be riveted back onto the roof gutter after galvanising. Now I was going to hire a rivet squeezer from Bits 4 Landys but there is a 3 week waiting list as it is out at the moment with another 2 people waiting. Does anyone have one they could sell me or lend to...

Ok so I’ve managed to get my arse back into gear and started working on the Landy again. Does someone have some pics on how the sides bolt down onto the tub? I’ve fitted the new seals today with a bit of Tiger seal just to hold them in place. I plan on fitting the sides loose before fitting the...

I had the same problem. I have now bought a new end for the grease gun and no problems now. If in doubt take the nipple off and check it is clear then try and pump some grease through it. Norrie.

Ok so I've just painted my roof inside and out and someone said in the winter it will condensate and drip all over the seats etc. So my question is what have you guys done? I was thinking about getting some of the carpet that they use on the inside of camper conversions. Thanks. Norrie.

Got the windscreen frame ready to be re-glazed. Cleaned up all the trim and glass etc. Will finish it tomorrow. Norrie
