@@CMFotoPeak I gave up and got a friend to do mine in the end (after marring the side panels a dozen times!) - The small ones at the back are easy... a bit of soapy water does the trick 👍
I'm working on an army defender as well and I see you sanded down the paint but also used paint stripper. What stripper did you use and how did it perform on the paint and underlying coats?
@@Balasubbarayan it had varies layers of paint. The original paint and primer was tough. I tried sanding, but it took forever. Then I use some cheap paint stripper from local hardware store, brand: Droppen ( danish or swedish brand I think) Was way faster. Smear on thick layer or it won't work, then scrape it off after 5 mins. Repeat til you're all the way down to metal. Sand the rest off. Be carefull with the scraper. It could end of scrapibg into the metal, leaving lines.
Hi, the welder was something I borrowed that could do aluminum (Sigma Galaxy 400). It did an ok job, but definitely hard to do right on thin sheets. Unfortunately I don't remember what settings was used. I tried welding aluminium with TIC but that was not a success either.
Great.. Nice works.. waiting for the next video..👍👍👍 keep it up
Those side windows... easy to get out... complete **** to get back in again!
Tell me about it, I test fitted 1 window, which took several sessions over 3 days to get right :')

Just found your channel nice work.
can you provide some more info on what gear you use to weld aluminium? That's the only thing I can't fix on my land rover right now
