Got all sorts of stuff starting to collect
New hinge pin kit for the air vent flaps on the front
Rivnut gun
Fibreglass to repair a couple of holes on the passenger door frame
New door hinge kit, no idea why ones a different colour, will be painted anyway
Paint touch up, to find a colour close to the vinyl to paint bits like the hinges. This one is pretty close - BMW Sparkling Graphite
Spat clips for the flexible wheel arches

looking good, keep going.. buy a mig and ditch the fibre glass 
Tonights little task was to remove the air cleaner and hoses, and waterproof it all, as you will see its not exactly waterproof from the factory
Heres all the bits
oh and this, I guess its not very waterproof anymore
First up was to waterproof the join between the plastic housing that sits on the rear of the wing, Sikaflex was used through out all this.
Then attached that piece on
Then sealed the plastic piece that push fits into the back of that
The two bits attached on
Sealed up the rubbish water drain valve here
And here
Applied a smear to the crimp join around the end of the can, mine looked fairly tight but just a precaution
Then sealed the snorkel to the wing
Should be fairly water tight :thumbs:
If anyone knows the part number for that split bit of hose that would be amazing or show me where to get one

It was 3028 that was split on mine. From the parts book you will know what it is you are looking for. Great job looking forward to reading more. Keep up the good work....

Brilliant thank you, it's always helpful to see how somebody else does it! What sealant did you use.?!

Thanks SJW
Got the rest of these bits wrapped, but first up was to etch primer all my new hinges and bulkhead to windscreen frame brackets
Ordered some Rustoleum enamel type anti rust black paint for these.
First up to wrap this
Then this, youl notice a new defender badge on there
Both bits
Checker plate and vent cover back on
So everything on that side of the car is ready to go back on the car tomorrow
