All looking good. Carefull you don't bounce with the pop rivetter when putting all the galvanised bits back on.

Yes thanks for the advise I’ll take my time on that one. I can’t wait to see it all back together

[AR4412]

It's easily done when using a lazy tong rivetter. I managed to bounce one off the side of a customers Defender when putting it all back together after a full chassis swap rebuild and body repaint. Repaired the air rivetter pretty soon after that.

That is some paint job, just like the the one I did but you are missing the runs, sags, orange peel and missing bits
Wood in the tub floor sounds really nice, especially against the colour you have used.

thanks will it’s getting there now! I can’t believe how long I’ve actually been at it! The Mrs calls it the most expensive ornament I’ve ever had

Got the rear tub bolted down today! I’m aiming to get it bolted together for Xmas, then it’s off to a specialist Land Rover mechanic to flip the cam 180 I believe it’s not right! (I bought the engine without seeing it run) school boy error

Looking good.

So Iast night I started riveting some of the galvanised piece on! Missing a few bits I need to try locate, it’s been a good while since I’ve seen them which is slightly worrying. Unfortunately the paints been nicked here and there over the years so me an my friend Simon, mainly all Simon are going to do a few touch ups next week

Oh and I came up against a bit of a brain teaser with regards to the tail gate
