SO, where am I now with this project? Finally went out in the old girl for a drive at the weekend! but, only as far as the bottom of the drive. No MOT yet. Deadlines come and go, 4th now I think, but it is getting closer. Just the interior to do, replace headling, 4 little rear seats...

Is it worth seeing just how much more rust you have, I.E under windscreen, behind dash etc, before you spend money and lots of time repairing the post and footweels? May be worth taking bulkhead right out to repair it, pay to in the long run. Keep the pics coming though..:)

Frost again. Self Etch Primer (453 g)*(16014) - Frost Auto Restoration Techniques Or Ebay, just search etch primer, loads come up.. Hope this helps.. Maybe Paddocks is ok for paint, I am just anti Paddocks at the moment as they ****ed me around.:doh:

Paddocks for paint! I would search elsewhere first, like this. Land Rover Paint Man | Paint for Land Rovers | Specialist in White Spirit Based, Synthetic & Zylene Based Enamels To strip what you have, try this. Eastwood Soda Blaster *(Y50095) - Frost Auto Restoration Techniques Or this cheeky...

I ordered it, as you found it, its the wrong part you found, you found the one from controls to heater box:cool:

It says your 16 on that link! :eek: Good luck with your build

Thanks

Im after the cable that goes from heater controls on dash, through bulkhead to operate the hot/cold valve for heater. Any ideas where to get it? cheers:cool:

Nice one...:D

Have you lost a girlfriend due to you Landy? :confused2:

I spent a grand or so with them, Had a faulty brake master cylinder, took 4 weeks for repalcement, replacement one was faulty too, took nearly 3 months to get a refund. I suppose they are ok if you want service parts etc, but as they just seem to be Britparts prefered supplier the stuff is...

Im afraid to say Paddocks are s**t, and I vow never to use them again..

The infamous upskirt shot!:D

Been pottering on Landy again today, not done too bad, just odds n sods.. As there is so much black I decided to remove the paint from rear badge, I think it looks great, subtle.

Sorry to jump in and high jack your post, but it's apt to yours.. I need the 4 black rubber? discs that mount to bonnet, that the spare wheel sits on. Any idea where I can get them? Cheers :5bsifone:

Door tops from here..:D Rocky Mountain Spares UK > Improved Engineered Parts and Accessories for your Land Rover

Just a few added shots, Inside drivers door, and rear door with panel I made, bit of plywood and some vinyl from local hardware store. You can see the tint on rear door is not too dark..

Also had a go at putting the clocks in too, quite a task getting all the wires stuffed in. I decided to keep the grey surround on the clocks, break up some of the black. The red LED mounted too, thats for the Toad immobiliser I fitted. The direction indicator lights are a bastard to keep from...

Cleaned and painted a few pieces today, decided to get out and do something.. I used Plasti Kote paint, a little dearer than other stuff, but its a quality paint.

I tried to keep it as original as I could, even if it meant hours of cleaning, de rusting etc. The rims took hours of paint stripping and wire brushing too, I think if I remember rightly I found some date stamps on the rims too. Its been a slog, and my date for finishing has long gone, but it...
