Now the decision has been made to sell the Puma and keep the 200 I have been gathering parts ready for it's spruce-up.
Replacement bonnet. I quite like the cargo rails that are on the current one but it looks cleaner without so I have a good replacement with no chequer plate and the sound-proofing intact. Station wagon sides. The solid sides are OK but I prefer windows. Whilst I had them loose I took the opportunity to tint the glass was well. Internal Mantec window grilles New side storage bins (to go over the tub arches) The high level shelf from the puma will be coming over Really good set of Puma front doors - elec windows and central locking Puma rear door, with c/l and high level brake light. I can also fit my existing table to this. And I will sell the new galv one I have in the garage waiting to be fitted. Replacement wing top for the NS wing which is currently full of filler Replacement steering column switches New (to me) cubby box Diesel heater Overdrive unit (Roamerdrive) Still to procure: Heater locker Refurb parts for the wiper mech / motor. Mechanically it is all good, still starts and runs like a dream. Noisy though. And lots of rattles but it looks like that is as a result of some slapdash reassembly when the chassis and bulkhead were replaced. I found out yesterday that the top f the seatbox only has 4 bolts in it right now The plan is to install the overdrive first, then sort out the rattles, then the steering column switches, wiper stuff and install the heater. The doors and side panels may need to wait as I would like to paint them before I fit them and it is a bit cold and wet for painting right now. I'll be doing a brush / roller paint job with either coach enamel or CombiColour in a satin finish. As for the colour, I am torn between Sandglow yellow and Tangiers Orange (or similar, perhaps RAL 2004 as I did on my 90). Decisions, decisions. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Well, I bought orange paint and a litre of Sandglow to see how it looked and ended up going with Keswick Green . Satin coach enamel from Paintman. So it will be all satin - green with black roof, hinges and trim. The wolf wheels will be body coloured and painted with fine texture raptor, tinted with the coach enamel to match the colour.
This is the general gist: The weather is not quite here yet for painting but I have made a start: stripped, sanded and first coat on the rear door (now sanded and ready for next coat); first coat on the bonnet, sides prepped as are the wheels.

Still a bit chilly out so having to use the kitchen for painting, which clearly goes down well with the boss. Have to wait until she has gone to bed and then get up early to clear up
Click image to enlarge Bonnet, side panels and rear door now done. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I had some spare glass from a long gone defender so I decided to experiment with DIY tinting. Bought the kit on ebay. It came out well. I have done the back window and quarterlight, side panel windows and now the second row doors. Click image to enlarge I swapped the optimill hinges on my other 110 for the new ones I had painted and intended for use on this one. Cleaning up ready to be stored for a few weeks before I can finish painting the doors and look to fit. Click image to enlarge While I work on the bits off the car some mechanical jobs to be attended to. Replacement front diff, front prop UJ and oil seal on the Salisbury axle at the rear. Plan to do those in the next week or so. |

More painting. Front doors were completely stripped, including all locks and window channels. No strictly necessary but even if it is a roller paint job I still want it to be well prepared and last for a while so the extra 30 mins per door seemed worth it.
I treated myself to new OE water shedders and later (2011 on) style bottom door seals. That plus a good internal coating with waxoyl should keep them going for a good few years. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |
