I have the doors, the hood and the back door off of the Rover. The plan is to strip them down, get the paint removed, repainted and back on the Rover. Simple, right. Considering there is really nothing to the Rover doors, should be a quick fix.
Galvinized trim came off no problem. The door hinges and aftermarket mirrors came off as well. The aftermarket mirrors left 3 holes in the door which I am going to have to fill in somehow, but more on that later.
Here is all the trim and the glass off of the door. I tried to clean up the alimunum channels with the sandblasted but it pitted the aluminum really badly so I wont be doing that with the rest of it. Some Emory cloth cleaned it up and left the aluminum un-marred. The felt that came out of the channels will have to be replaced here as well.
It turns out that each of the Rover doors has a different lock, requiring a different key. So including the ignition there are four keys for this beast. I don't have any plans to replace these locks so if anyone out there knows how to tumble these locks drop me a line, it would be great to lose some weight off of my keychain.
