Almost There

With the wheel alignment and seatbelts completed yesterday, today it was the turn of the brake adjustment (which I believe wass related to the brake light issue) and a tour underneath the Land Rover to make sure everything looks as it should. With that now done, there really only remains the door seals to do, and the filler strip in the window seals (waiting for correct tool). Some of those door seals will need riveting, and so may take a little while to get things together, but aside from that the vehicle is ready for the test drives. If we get a warmer day this week, off we'll go.

In honour of this stage being almost done, just thought I'd post a small tour of the exterior, as things are today. A little over 600 hours to do (big learning curve in there). The wrinkles and dents probably take away a little from all that, but on the other hand, this is the vehicle's 'patina' (although I had to get rid of some of the larger damage), just looks a little better with fresher and original-colour paint.
