That's the rust treatment finished now:

Offside:











Nearside:











I've put the epoxy mastic on very thick so it's not the prettiest but as it's all behind the plastic covers I wasn't too concerned about that.

The jacking points on the car you can't remove easily without knocking the pin in the way. These are now not available from Land Rover so I didn't want to knock the pin into the sill. I drilled a 3mm hole in the fixing, screwed in a self tapper and grabbed the screw with a pair of pliers and hit the pliers with a hammer.







Now all I need to do is get the covers back on and start re-assembly.

I did go round all the wheel nuts with a machine polisher and whilst it was in the air on the ramp I did the exhaust tips too as it's much easier then doing it when it's on the floor!











Just need my wheels back now! Very Happy

David, probably teaching you to suck eggs but if you go in the boot side panels you can get to the double skinned rear arches and flood between them with anti rust treatment, I like the Dinitrol ML with a long application wand you can reach the whole arch. I did fatty off roader with it years ago, I saw the car a couple of years ago and it still has rust free arches.... Thumbs Up Pete

Might as well do it justice given the wheels are all being refurbished! Very Happy

Cheers Pete, I’ll give that a go. I’ll probably use the Lanoguard I bought.

I was also going to pop the trim panel that houses the rear number plate lights off the upper tailgate and try and fill that up too. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Got the wheels back today. They’ve knocked them out of the park.

To get rid of some of the pitting on one of them they had to rub it back and powder coat it twice. They’ve also fitted the new tyres and labelled all the wheels so I know which sensor goes where.

I didn't realise that to create the shadow chrome finish they powder coat the wheel black and then build up layers of silver with spray paint before lacquering it. A lot more time involved then a basic powder coat.

Overall I’m incredibly pleased with the finish and the efficiency.







I've knackered my left shoulder this week so lifting them back onto the car is going to be fun 🙄 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

David,

You can fill the tailgate with rust preventer through the drain holes till it comes out the other drain holes...

The Lanoguard seems a good idea but IMHO I wouldn't use it in box sections, they say it needs doing every year, do it with Dinitrol and you only have to do it once... Thumbs Up

Those wheels look lovely really set it off....

BTW it doesn't matter which wheel TPMS goes where, they get picked up in the place they are fitted, swap wheels or TPMS and it learns the new location in a few miles... Thumbs Up

We need some pictures of fatty with the "new" wheels fitted Thumbs Up Bow down Pete
