TUB
Tailgate now on and treated to a coat of paint along with the backend of the tub. All sockets fitted too, so it all looks complete from the ar5e end? 3 hours with the wacky wheel saw all the tub capping stripped of paint and lightly polished. This is not going to be painted.
DOORS
Cut out the rotten bottom sections of each door (see pic) and welded in some pre-made sections of good stuff. The broken lock surround was repaired last week. All the steel frame was then treated to a coat of hammerite anti-rust primer then two coats of Paddocks enamel. Also drilled a couple of holes at either end of the bottom section so water can get out and I can get a load of Dinitrol in (compressor arrives next week so I can get Dinitrol crazy!)
Doors hung on both sides and it needed a bit of tweaking on the bulkhead stay to get them to line up after a fashion. Still cannot get the passenger side one to go level with the top of the capping. It's about 1/8" high.
