My first off roader - defender 90

few updates from today :)

cleaned out all the rear and painted black. I also removed the saggy head lining and any bits of foam interior trim ready for off roading




I then removed the battery and cleaned the tray and rust treated it all.



Gave the inside and engine bay a little clean :)




polished a couple panels to see how the paint came up, got pitting in alot of area's and wasn't sure weather to go another colour or keep original but the blue has won me over! So decided to give it a touch up soon.




It needs a few things doing but I'm loving my defender right now! :D Its already got a few mods for off roading but I'm getting everything sorted before i throw money at goodies!

I need a windscreen and rear window so if you have one in Somerset give me a shout
 
You're right there Phil haha, I'm just trying to clean everything up and rust protect it before it gets really muddy :)

Went through everything today and I've got all the light working apart from one full beam and sorted a few other bits! Nice to have something to spend some time on.

Quick question what MPG do most people get?
 
I only get about 230/240 ish miles to a full tank, with big tyres, disco tranny box and tweeked fuel pump.
Never tryed working out mpg
 
I got 205 miles to half a tank today I normally get 280 on a full tank I have normal tranny box and 205/85/16 bit smaller than standard but ok for on road use
 
Well my fuel gauge is all over the shop at the moment so I'm reading by luck!! :) next job on the list got a feeling it's just a loose connection!
 
Few little bits done today.
-fitted a new rear window
-sealed the sunroof as it was leaking!
-painted the front guard :)

Just gotta clean up the silicone tomorrow on the rear screen and then fit the windscreen! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1409764582.363715.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1409764598.891697.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1409764608.443764.jpg
