It's all really comming together, and looking concours too 👍 I need to build a shed for the 109's parts, so I can get and restore them as I go. But my 300tdi farmy pick-up had me busy for some time rebuilding the front axle and putting new...

If only there were more doctors and nurses and less clipboard holderers.

That’s absolutely spot on - exactly what I needed! Brilliant help, thanks! I looks like my window seals were replaced at some point and the channel fitted back on incorrectly….😊.

The 1982 S3 109 Station wagons look like this at the bottom btw. They are upside down too.

I hope these pics from my 1975 Series 3 88" Station Wagon can help 😊

Ok thanks, I'll get Gigi's cover off and take some pics. Probably tomorrow as we're just heading to my woods with a load of brash for another wildlife pile. It always surprises me how much you can get into an old Landy. 😄

Been a bit slow progress of late as I’ve been on holiday. Been desperate to make some decent progress, so ploughed on with the other rear side windows. Got all the lower and upper channels fitted, windows cleaned of old overspray and gunk and...

Anyone else got this channel fitted? Maybe @Wagon Loon you have this? Once I get this right I’ll get the installation finished. Meanwhile I fitted the grab rail, as I was fed up tripping over it 😊

I'm not sure which part you mean. Is it the gutter bit at window base to body pls ? I can take a pic tomorrow 😊 She's really coming together now, and I'm sure is going to be really quite special 👍

Thought I would take the opportunity to use my son to give me a hand to lift the roof for a trial fit. Not too bad a fit but will definitely need some jiggling around to get a better fit!

Air rivet guns are wonderful, may your next one never explode! Mine too 😄

I gave the two stainless rails a polish to get rid of some rusty marks to make them a bit better looking. Although I am surprised that they are still good after all these years. After cleaning them I started riveting them on, then my rivet gun...

Thankfully I managed to buy some pins off eBay - LR Optional Parts and they came in a few days. Great service 👍. I fitted the catches to the glass, gave the glass a clean, painted the round securing nuts silver to make them look a bit better 😊...

Thought I would tackle the o/s glass channel today. The channel itself was quite sound as it was galvanised, but the felt runners were completely shot and a pig to get out! After some fighting and swearing I managed to get the channel stripped...
