Sorry to hear that you are being put under pressure to move things along. Hardly ideal when you are struggling for space. I am sure you will get past these difficulties though. You have come so far already. Your perseverance is remarkable. Look forward to your next update.
You have my sympathy over space problems: I never have enough, and if I clear some I fill it rapidly. I look forward to seeing how you overcome the difficulties.
I bought a (very) cheap garden Pergola as a spraying booth. Might work for your tub. (Also, I have several sheets of genuine 1980s Birmabright from the factory in Birmingham before it shut)
I’m waiting to properly start my project, still waiting on Maer to deliver the chassis! Want to get the chassis and bulkhead etched and painted outside with the good weather!!
It’s a real pain when the weathers good but you can’t make progress then when you are ready the weather usually turns . The pop up tents and the likes make a good temporary shelter
Just getting back to your request for comment on the prop shafts.. spoke to a friend that had many Land Rover’s . He says genuine Land Rover shafts would have two arrows to align and could only be slid together either at 0 degrees or 180 degrees as the spline pattern would only allow this … non genuine prop splines maybe different…
I’ve found a great little educational video on TH-cam explaining why the yokes have to be in line. I think the arrows on mine have long since eroded away.. it’s all to do with preventing the drive train pulsing speed through each revolution of the assembly.
Painting and body repairs take longer than any other part of a rebuild! You are doing sterling work Mat,, keep at it!

Space and access have been an ever present thorn .

@@lookcreations I’ve luckily got a “big barn” 60’ by 50’ but it’s filled with my other projects!
This is the way ! Have space will fill it 🤣
I have to say these clanger videos give me anxiety about buying anything that needs body work. LOL
I had a full head of hair before I started Brian 🤣

Could you crane it out when its finished?
Lovely work
Possibly, though its over my house - and Ive watched too many TH-cam videos of crane desasters !
