I've recently drilled out all the pop-rivets and chiseled off all the solid rivets on a Series 1 tub & tailgate cappings etc. . It's a time consuming job but there isn't an alternative.
With the solid rivets once you've chiseled off the back they come out easily (drilling would be a lot more difficult). Drilling out the pop-rivets is straightforward as long as the drill doesn't wander.....
I'm with John, if there are any solid rivets I would replace with pop-rivets unless you are going to 'show' the car and want it 100%.
