I skinned a couple of extra doors in the last weeks and I'm having the frames patched up (rotten lower section); my ex boss refused to get the frames galvanized, so I hope to find someone else to do the job.

I was wondering about the mastic material, your sound deadener is a good Plan B

I hope you're well!

Seats in and feel good with the high density foam. The rubber stops on the bases are door stops that I sectioned on the band saw. I drilled an interference hole into timber and wedged the stop, before slicing to keep my fingers out of the way of the blade. Behind the seats I used a smaller diameter stop and filed them to a taper in the drillpress to look original. They pick up the gal brackets well.

Fair bit of down time. Some good progress some not so. I have been collecting a few bits mostly electrical. Thanks Wayne for the chrome rings and clips. I came across a period inicator stalk at the landrover expo and some glass Lucas lenses. As much as I did not want to put a hole in a clean panel, I do want to drive it on the road and don't want it hit by someone who does not know which direction I am heading.
Got the tyres on today. I also came across a fella who had some of the brackets that the spare wheel rests against. I cleaned them up and will gather some other pieces such as the door tops that I have rewelded and make one more visit to the galvaniser.
The not so good was a leak in one of my brake lines. I will have another attempt soon

That has to be one of the best if not the best going round, I cant wait to see it and pick your mind

Looking great mate. :thumbup:

What are those tyres?
