off to paint

Looks good to me! You could always try to get a set of Ike's sliders instead of the sill panels.

[People here usually have a cow when they see painted cappings- it is like the galvy is sacred, I am surprised no one is bitching about that.]

Not done.. but most things fitted..
still waiting on some backordered weather stripping..
and can’t put the rack on it till its water tight (or at least as water tight as its going to get)

Thats a nice looking Rover!

Yours doesn't look so bad either...

Mine are in the need a quite a bit of TLC at the moment.

Buying a fixer-upper while working in a different city in which you live as well as then moving across country doesn't do much for my Rovers!

Well screwed the pooch a bit today...
Was installing my pull handels on the doors today and of course the drill bit pulled forward a bit and left me a nice dimple in my brand new, freshly painted, perfect door....

First of many such scars I feel...


Going tp see what the body guy can do for me... AFTER all the ancillaries are screwed on

I feel your pain.Did the samething a couple months back.Luckly it just blended in with the other dings and scrapes.
Truck is really shaping up,nice job!

I was Lucky, smart, or just plain clairvoyant when I had the truck painted..
I specifically asked the guy if I could come back when everything is all bolted, riveted, and mounted for a “detail.”
He was more than happy to agree, partially because he wants to have a photo shoot with the truck and use it for his advertising..
A few more days of buttoning everything up and ill make an appointment to drop t off again..

as it sits today...

OOPs and OH $#!^s would be a good thread. I was reconditioning a windscreen removed all glass, replaced one broken pane, painted frame, resealed and installed glass. Was bolting top back on and cracked the drivers side glass being a little to fast with a ratchet. Of course it was the last bolt to be installed. AHHHH!!!!!
Truck is looking great!!
