More Painting

Have been doing a number of things, not the least being painting the 'breakfast' and apron. With this done, the radiator can now go back on.

Also started assembling the pedal boxes, but when putting the rubber pads on the pedals, one of the tabs on a pad just broke off after just a few degrees of bending. I tried attaching the pad anyway, but it looked bad and was potentially dangerous, and so have order another set for the clutch and brake pedals, just to be sure.

Doors are out having cracked joints in their frames welded.

The acrylic enamel aerosol paint is a pleasure to work with, and I think the not-overly-gloss finish is well suited to a Land Rover. As mentioned before, it matches exactly the finish of the original paint found on the vehicle. However, care has to be taken to make sure that whatever primer is under the paint is sanded very smooth, as the enamel really shows every tiny texture and surface marking underneath.
