Been doing a bit more on army. Got the frount doors compleat with the new rubbers and mirrors. Also painted the frount blinkers and got the bonnet catches on.
When i was finishing the windscreen frame off the wipers stoped working. After a bit of a look i found the wiper motor relies on the earth through the windscreen frame hinges. I fixed the problem by running a earth wire from the wiper motor to the earth bolt behind the glove box.
I also built the rear panel the army fitted seeing mine was missing.
Also fitted the rear tail lights and blackout tail lights.
I have to find one airlift hook yet
The next jobs is to paint the rear panel and make the roof bows .

Really nice mate. Love that you found D^D camouflage canvas. My old man had the same pattern on his ex-Army Landrover [oh the shame..]

He made up for it with a BJ40 and a HZJ75 though.

Now you have the rear handbrake, you can go down the H55 path?

When i rebuilt the rear diff i had those backing plates with the h/break in so i put them on just incase. I have a h55 but i will leave the 4 speed in for a wile.see how it goes
:hhmm:
 
And the right side.

After a copple of stubies you greb the spraygun and the picture and this is the result. It has the rollbar back in and i have the pipe to make the soft top hood bows and also have a loan of a genuine camo canvas top to copy.

Nice mate! Stubbies always help when painting camo.
 
Thanks for the commenets .
Been hard at work today making the hood bows. Not to hard as i have had a bit of practice on a pipe bender. They are made out of 3/4 gal pipe 2mm wall thickness. Even the rear one came out ok made out of one length of pipe.
Also a sneak look with the camo canvs .

Roof

Got a bit more done, the hood bows are finished.
and went for a 600km drive today and came home with a canvos roof thanks to a nother Mud member who stored it for 13 years. I can use it for a patton. Looks good on.
