Day 55 ( 27th October 2013) of my Budget Restoration of my Series 2 Land Rover

Day 55

Well, the weather is looking a bit okay to do some more work on 'Jane-May' so we got out as soon as we could to get some more done. The weather didn't brighten up until the afternoon, so we were late in getting started.

We still have to fix the drivers (right) side wing in place properly, and the front panel needs to go on. We also need to get the passengers (left) side door on and the passengers (left) side wing in place.

So that is what we did.

We have to bonnet (hood) on, but it is not properly fixed in place. But you get the idea of how much we have done and how she is looking now. Paul also got the pods in place for the front lights. We had to wait for more parts to come, again. But we have all the wiring for her now and the long awaited registration plates. They look really cool. With her being a classic vehicle, we are able to have the old Black and Silver Plates. I have taken the picture from the internet to show you what they are like. This is not the reg that 'Jane-May' has. I am not telling you what that is LOL.

Now don't you think that looks just fantastic. I cant wait to get them on 'Jane-May'.

Anyway, the last thing that we managed to get on was the tailgate. Now most of the body work is on. The only thing she is missing is the floor and the seat box. We are not putting them in yet. Paul wants to check the clutch is working okay before the floor and seat box goes in. He doesn't want to have to take it all out again if we have to replace the clutch plate.

Here is a couple of pictures of the rear of 'Jane-May' with her tailgate on.

Paul made sure the canvas was on properly as we are in for a storm. We don't want anything to happen to the canvas with the winds that are expected. They say we could have winds up to 90mph. So it is a good thing we have the main body work on now. That way nothing would get blown around the garden. That is the last thing I want. All that hard work that has been put into 'Jane-May' with the painting and everything else. Lets hope the storm misses us and we will not have any of the winds or the rain they have forecast.

Not long now I think, before we are taking 'Jane-May' for her MOT. I am really getting excited now.

Speak to you all soon. Pray the storm misses us.
