Evening all, Busy trying to rebuild my 90 New cappings have been fitted and all riveted in place etc. I was fitting the hardtop sides today and when I tightened the holding down bolt by the front door it’s lifted the capping a bit so now got paint movement!! Any idea why it’s done this?? I’m...

Todays bits so far… move Tigersealed any parts on the tub that may contribute to water ingress, around the cappings etc (only the sides of the cappings so they can still breathe/drain. I’ve also Tigersealed any gaps in the side panels and also stuck the door skins to their frames. The...

It’s been a while but I’ve finally managed to get some time on the Landy. I’ve had some interesting moments. While prepping the front wings for primer I realised that the passenger wing side remained curved rather than having the top and front curve and then going to vertically flat. I thought...

Over the last few days I’ve fully stripped all panels for painting. There are some bizarre design choices such the metal strip with welded studs that sit behind a little bent panel on the sides next to the front doors. One has sheared a stud so that’s a job for another day. I’ve fully stripped...

Thanks! I’m really hoping that I don’t miss anything so that I don’t have to revisit it again in a couple of years!

So it’s been a while and I’ve done a few more bits to the Landy. Generally on a bit of a go slow though. She had a really crumpled rear quarter from a previous owner having a disagreement with something hard so that needed sorting. I used a blowtorch to get it fairly straight and then gave it a...

Thanks, but I’ve already got the arches. I’m just unsure whether to colour code or not

They are the same ones as in the photos so use the original fittings. A more OEM look

I’m busy rebuilding my 90. It’s going to be in keswick green with a black roof, black chequerplate wing tops and rear corner protectors, black rock sliders and running black Modular’s. due to the wheel size I’m going to fit the Britpart wide arches. The question is do I paint them keswick...

I’ve been away from the Landy for a little bit as seeing the in-laws but while I was there I did come across a NAS rear step for £30! It’s the best condition second hand one I’ve seen! Bargain! :D The seller had swapped this one for one with a tow hitch, which I’m more than happy with as I don’t...

So today I’ve managed to get the back panels off, the arches and the cappings (a lot of swearing and some heat from a blow torch seemed to do the trick) it turned out that the cappings were worse underneath than what was able to be seen when fitted. This is the reason I’m going for galv now...

I’ve been advised that using epoxy primer over the old paint should be fine as it has a minimal reaction chance. I also got advised against etch primer as that can lift old paint if you overspray at all. they said that epoxy primer works on bare Ali too so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. You...

This is true. I’m hoping the weather gets a bit better. I am in a shed/barn though and got a space heater too so it may be ok.

So not a lot of work happened on the Landy itself today as I was out spending all my pennies on goodies. I’ve now got all the bits to go for filling, epoxy primer, high build primer and then a 2k direct gloss top coat. I’m going for Keswick green on the panels. Then gloss black roof, hinges...

I spent the day buying random tools and bits and receiving many deliveries of new parts. I then decided to start stripping the Landy down and got down to half height in an hour and a half. I only managed to snap one bolt so I call that a great success! Tomorrow I’m off to get the paint and...
