Progress Photos

Bit more info here Wolfie:

Wolfie the colour is called Bahama gold. This was also used to paint a number of leyland vehicles at that time. Don't be confused with the camino gold which is lighter. Bahama gold was used from about 78 on.

Looking good mate.

Thanks for the info ... I like the dark golden yellow colour, makes the LR Series 3 look awesome. Both my 1975 LWB and 1979 SWB landies, are originally that colour.. So, for the rebuilds of both I would like to stick to that colour... (Just remembered the other colour I was told it is... Sahara Gold)

Keep the picks coming, that project is inspiring my rebuild... I will put up some pics as soon as this system lets me.. So far it doesn't want to play ball..

Yes here it is


The Best Restored Series 3 Land-Rover in the World - Main

It will be interesting to see how your Dash, turns out... I managed to get new top grilles for mine (The 1975 LWB one, the 1979 SWB model, they are smaller? :eek: ).. There's a bit of rust in it, so it will be interesting to see how I'm going to fix it.. When I get it all off that is...

I've thought of a way to re-upholster it, now sure if it will work or not.. But time will tell...

Now I'm confused.
Mine is a 78 - Camino or Bahama:confused:

That's pretty close to how my 1975 LWB will look. Except the rear windows are the sliding type, and the front (rear) are fixed.. Now all I need is that type of bonnet (To match the 1979 SWB ), and some better guards that I don't have to panel beat.. And I'll have a front bull bar with the engine driven winch.
