Cornish Rattler Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Left the paint stripper to do its work this morning will have a go at removing the old paint / underseal tomorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Scraped the old paint / underseal off from the underside of the floor then I filled all the additional holes in the tub with pop rivets then once the tub parts I've ordered start to come in I can fit some before the tub gets painted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 The panels look very straight. It's been looked after over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i'm trying to work out if the tub is newer than the landy is as the tub look quite clean and undamaged / rotten in places most are plus both the corners where the lights are fitted are like new one had no corner cover fitted and is like new but where the reg plate would be looks like its had at least 4 veriant size reg plates fitted in the past and according to the guy we got it from said he was an archeologist and has had the landy in Egypt and i'm wondering if its lived over there for a while which kind of would explain why the tub is in good nick and may have had a small reg plate fitted but can't understand why the bulkhead was as bad as it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
