The snow has now virtually all gone to be replaced with heavy rain, but looking on the bright side some enforced work in the shed has allowed me to make unexpected progress with getting the SWB landrover back on the road again. I always think that the headloghts in the centre panel give the old landrovers much more character (though less light on the road it must be said) and this one needed a face lift badly.
The bottom rail was almost gone entirely and although it’s not an MOT failure it’s good to get it back in a position with a new rail welded on the bottom where it will last for another 45 years.
The rest of the front is a bit further behind, but with another couple of days of heavy rain it should all be back together again. Watching the paint dry has been a real problem as in the low temperatures it hasn’t. I was able to hang the centre panel over the stove but don’t have that option with the chassis. So another couple of days with higher temperatures could make quite a difference to the appearance.
