Separated the drivers door frame from the damaged skin today.  It is well glued on and the frame has been repaired before but they have made a good job of it.

Fitted the new doorskin to the door frame, it fits well enough and I have attempted to paint it (I etch primed the skin and frame separately yesterday) but the dratted spray gun started spitting, right in the middle of the panel.  It was fine yesterday..  It will have to do for the time being as I need to get the door and sill back on.  I think it must be my rubbish spray gun and my lack of skill.  It will be a good reason to repaint it next year when I fit the new engine.

Well yesterday
New door skin fitted and door painted, had to do it outside so not brilliant plus the spray gun decided it was going to spit right in the middle of the door.  I dont think I have time to re do it before the NEC so apologies in advance.

I have had lots of difficulties with this paint so I think it might be an excuse for a repaint after the winter.

More bulkhead work. After repairing the new footwell and surrounding area from a leaking brake master i think i found where they kept the bottle to top it up.

Slowly and carefully picked away at the spot welds here to see how it went together rather than going straight in with a grinder so i could replace as was.

Finally replaced the full canvas hood on my '65 88" today.  Great service from Undercover Covers - superb quality.

Do we need to pull up the drawbridge and prevent an invasion or is it too late?

After re registering the Land Rover with the County Council and booking a same day slot I went to the local tip with some old electrical appliances, a car battery and old engine oil. I was expecting problems but straight in, no aggro, and everything taken without question.
I couldn't believe it.
Edit. The useless Guesscast guessed this afternoon would be pouring with rain which didn't happen. I could have fitted the new fuel sender unit.
Typical.

Finished up the re-wire (and a host of smaller jobs) on the 6 cylinder today, and it's back to working hard already!  :RHD

Door and sill back on, not thrilled with the fit of the sill but nothing is quite right on YOD due to a major accident in the early 60s

In-between helping Beth clear a fallen tree from a footpath near the house I painted the cover plates, locking tab washers and handbrake spring return eyelet for the transfer-box and got the new mounts trimmed and fitted.
Hopefully going fit the transfer tomorrow, weather providing.
