1996 110 build coming along. Rain stops play

Good Lord some nice welding there.

Looking good!

Thank you.
I do have a small question for the ladies and gents here.
I have today started to weld the new rear chassis in place.
I'm a coach builder by trade. So I know I have sleeved the chassis correctly, and welded to an iso standard.
However, my questions is " would a future owner prefer to see the Weld through the paint etc or a
Smooth surface?
I know my farm mates prefer to see the weld.
But with the lipstick lads and future buyers im unsure..

Personally, I would rather see the weld and know it’s been done well.

I agree so it will remain as is.

Great day mind. The nervous of removing the cover of the rear diff.
250000 on the clock absolutely amazed.

Small update.

Work is progressing in sunny weather.
New clutch. Rock sliders. Rear wiring, brake lines etc.
New rear floor next, small amount of welding on the bulk hesd. And then time for the fancy stuff.

Cappings finally repaired.!
Rear door stripped ready for panoramic glass.
All prepared ready for some acid etch.
This afternoon.
Ill leave the full respray to a pro. But good for protection until that time.
Updated with a few more pics.

Small update. !!.
Slow progress of late !!
Latest pics.. door frames to be blasted and repaired hopefully I can this weekend.. new skins to be fitted..
Panoramic glass due for Christmas.
Then it's the final finish before paint.

Another update.
And a question on the front door height.
The new door skin hardly folds over the frame on the front door. (Bottom only).
Im at around 45.5 inches or 1155 mm top to bottom on the skin.. ( measured from the inside at the longest point) can anyone confirm this dimension please? Thank you
