Air cleaner and battery support structure, drying (still wet in the bowl area!) after a being stripped, wire-wheeled, sanded and sprayed with a rust converter. Green tape covers the threads for the butterfly nut. It will get its coats of semi-gloss chassis black later.
The interior of the horn sees the light of day, possibly the first time since leaving the factory, and the cover reverts temporarily to natural metal. The black paint on the outside looked in good condition, but flaked off easily. Once I took the wire wheel to the cover, it became apparent that a thin layer of surface rust had crept under almost all the paint.
The underside of the horn being cleaned. It almost has a natural look to it, like some kind of undersea Nautilus.
The inside of the horn cover. Pristine paint, as new, although it reveals that Land Rover did not always paint their Series parts in a dust-free environment!
