Oh yep! sorry I was all confused for a second there luckily I saw something shiny so I got distracted!

so check out this vid of the bare metal series from I believe the DUNSFORD collection...

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWYJL4ROV9E]landrover polished aluminium - YouTube[/ame]

something like that, not polished that much!! and without the clear door or bonnet...

couple quick questions..

firewall and chassis are steel, what about bonnet
(was told by someone today bonnet on s2/s3 are not aluminium/birmabright??)

so if I get the outside soda blasted and sealed,
I'd want the firewall painted a close silver...(or should I try to get it to match the galv??)

the chassis and under wheels would need to be black (for ease of doing it!)
or the panels under arches - original green? (which will still be inside cab and tray and under bonnet)

what colour then should the rims be? (silver or black? I think silver at this time)

interested in thoughts..

cheers

They did not know what they were talking about. They are Birmabright.

G'day Digger

Radiator support panel and firewall are steel, bonnet ali with steel frame,same as doors,all the panels are "Birmabright"

BTW. That display sectioned Series 3 is at the British Heritage Centre, as that is "Buttercup" the Landrover factory works forward control in the background as is the London cab.

cheers
