Thank ypou Clive, I have pracrically documented most of my projects but this one is different. I am new to the LC owner's club group and it has inspired me to document the resoration all the way. I will be applying a coat of Surfacer filler as the old paint is very unstable. if I strip the old paint, it will be very costly and timely. We will paint the interior part first. I am glad that a lot has viewed the thread and I hope that they enjoyed as much as I do.

I have started to cleanup the interior for painting.

Tweaking with the wires while the body is being prepped for painting.

I decided to remove the windshield and it was really a piece of cake.

Fantastic job you're doing here Oding! I have a hj60 that with help went through the same process as yourself. So it brings back memories of determination and pride.

There's a lot of surface area regarding the paint process and refitting of trim.

Great job to see another 60 series being restored! !!

Little or nothing provokes envy in me but when I see someone do something like this the respect I have for the skill , patience and perseverance involved makes me realise I am capable of envy . Great work

I am capable of envy, but completely incapable of this kind of work
