Out of curiosity, why did you paint the steel trim on the rear of the truck? I have noticed this being done on many restored Series, and I don't understand why as it doesn't look as "original' to me.

Steel Trim

Well I guess it was my preference. I acid etched metal so I could paint and match color. I actually looked in an old manual I purchased somwhere and it showed the metal being painted or maybe i need better glasses. HuH???

It appears to be a good-looking truck, really straight. Would think that prospective buyers would like to see chassis pics (in the areas that usually rust, like the rear cross-member, frame outriggers, front horns), engine pics, interior pics, etc.

On a series truck the steel trim should be galvanized (as it is still on the inside). On Defenders, Rover quit galvanizing and started just painting, then after a few years all the rust started showing up.... so now, the Defenders's still bits are galvanized, but still painted over.


FWIW.....

Thanks for the info. I figured the rust issue was why LR has now gone to painting the Denders' galvanized bits. I do prefer the look of the bare steel on the Series though, just seems to match the overall rig.

Looks nice from the photos, for a nice finish the trim needs to be galvanized not painted. Anyone buying this would probably want it to look as close to original as possible.

Is that the 400,000 miler from ECR in Maine?
