Well, clearly I no longer own a vehicle; I own a "Project"!
The latest challenge is the bonnet hinges have come off - well, more accurately, the steel they were bolted to has rusted away. I knew I was going to have to get around to dealing with a hole that was visible in the baulkhead under the plenum hood, but I hadn't realised just how extensive the rust actually was until I opened the bonnet and had it drop down as the hinge went.
It is criminal that the design of these beloved Land Rovers of ours is so poor in so many areas. This one's a classic as water from the screen and running down from the roof gutters, inevitably will run down right onto, over, and around, the bonnet hinge fixings. So that is where the rust gets in!
