1984 Landrover 100 Bulkhead Repair... or so i thought...

Guys,

I sent the old 110 in for a bulkhead repair and was getting a respray also but.... It turns out the bulkhead was too bad to repair and it had to come out. It's now being replaced by a nice new shiny bulkhead.

I also had a clutch that was... only okay, so it's now being changed also. We had a small element of welding to an out rigger too but outside of that i'm okay.

Is there anything I should be doing at this time when I have the 110 stripped back? I don't expect to be touching it again for a long time so any direction would be appreciated.

So I've gone from this

To this....


I'm in deep now so I have to keep swimming. Looking at full restore now...

Turns South pretty quick hey

Might i suggest members vehicles fred

Perfect time to replace front brake pipes, fiddly with the inner wings on.
Turrets easy to do too.
Engine core plugs easy to get at if they look rusty?

I'd start saving as much money as possible and learn some relaxation and deep breathing exercises. If yours had a totally knackered bulkhead when it looks like that, then I dread to think what mine must look like if I stared at it hard enough.

If you didn't love them you wouldn't be putting up with the madness...

How did this happen....

Any way to prevent the bulkhead from rusting out? I've a 300 TDI that's getting on a bit.

That's turned out rather nice.
You aren't going to get it dirty are you?
