Over-restoration?

Re my mystery holes on L/R wheel arches....

 

"Could be for wheel skirts. My Artic FFR had canvas flaps that rolled down over each wheel and the screen."

 

I wondered if it could be associated with camo net that was draped over operational vehicles on the move, with the holes in the wheel arch extensions being where the net was clipped in to stop it getting tangled in the wheels? The vehicle served with the Paras and it looks like it was used a lot of the time topless with the windscreen down, like a Pathfinder.

Ferg, whatever you do, don't eliminate holes in a Land Rover floor. The amount of water that can come up through the floor is tiny in comparison with the amount that needs to drain away due to leaking roofs and screens !

 

As long as more can drain out than can enter, you'll be fine :-)
