    Anyway.....

    The new firewall is coming along a treat. This is the most exciting bit so far: Once it's installed, I can start building up all the things that rather need a firewall in the car - like pedals, breaks, steering, electrics....

    Here's a pic. It's remarkably good for fifty years old. A few holes here and there, but nothing that a bit of welding and bogging can't sort out. Check out the pillars! Sound as a pound.

    Geez. Either you have all those Land Rover parts inside your house or you have a really nice shed.

    Bronze Green!

    At last. I thought I'd never open the tin. Still a million things to do to finish the vehicle, but today was a boost: put the first coat of Deep Bronze Green on the seat base and transmission tunnel, in between bouts of cutting, welding and grinding on the firewall.

    Firewall's done (mostly). I promise that this thread will get more interesting in the months (years?) ahead when all this refuse starts to reassemble itself into a Land Rover. In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure, I attach the following photograph...

    Thanks. Yeah, paint is not cheap... What have you used for rust treatment? Mine's had Penetrol sprayed all through it, to every place I can reach, before painting (but I still wonder if I shouldn't have another go)
