25

Thanks!

26

Well;

For all this work and you have to give it away, Where my Keys? Yessir.That is looking very good. I wish they’d come out with the SWB version.

27

Thanks! It is a cool.kit!just to shake things up I decided to put a large RAF roundrel decal on the hood!Although the spare tire will cover it!

28

I decided to paint the seats and interior panels interior a sand color! goes well with the green body.

29

Nice. From my research shows only a black interior from the factory but if it’s a military job tan would be ok i think.

My Rover represents a custom restoration.

31

Installed the first two rows of seats like the sand color!The rear seats have a black frame which is tricky to paint.

32

I got the interior panels installed.Fit was very good and positive.I simulated galvanized metal by first painting the bumper chrome silver abd allowing it to dry overnight.then I used flat aluminum and cut down paint brush to stipple it on .Results are pretty good.

33

My 1980 Series III 109 had very dark brown door cards and interior trim, while the seats, very similar to the later Defender type seats, were dark brown vinyl with a lighter brown fabric on the seat bottom and back. The typical SIII “deluxe” pleated seats were normally black vinyl as were the later slab type seats. On the earlier Series IIA the normal seats and trim were a dark grey vinyl with a very grainy texture commonly referred to as “elephant hide”. All of the Series III padded dash panels were black.

I’ve seen the slab type seats recovered in many colors and materials so the tan seats are just fine for your truck.

35

36

37

38

Temporary spare tire location(until rear glass is installed)

This kit is designed to install the trop top sunsheet over the standard roof, and so the roof is missing the stiffeners that are normally under the sunsheet. You can see the ends of the stiffeners on the kit roof but they would extend the entire length of the actual roof. The kit rear door has a ‘stiffener’ at one location where the spare can be mounted and the second location is above the ‘stiffener’ with a small gap between the two locations. Bob
