Lift Gate Paint

Haven't had as much time as I hoped, to work on the Land Rover, but progress is still being made. Clutch bleed was very successful, and the rear side windows are now in place along with their seals. Rear window seals have a filler strip, which I though I'd be able to insert with the tools here, but ended up being too difficult to do properly and so have ordered the correct tool from Vintage Car Parts .

The vehicle's value has now been professionally assesed, and so insurance can now be purchased, after which it will be time to get the licence plates. This by the end of next week, I hope.

Small problem with the brake light hydraulic switch means it will now have to be replaced, so that will hold up the first test drive until that is taken care of, as it means waiting for the new parts (switch from 3 Bros. and 5-way junction from Leacy Classics) and after that re-bleeding the brakes.

Inside surface of the lift gate has now been painted, as has the liftgate seal retainer, plus the seatbelt brackets that will be installed in the roof sides.

The lift gate latch mechanism housing has been re-riveted. The gate will now have to dry for a few days and then it can be turned over to paint the outer surface.
