Found a small problem with the rear door, must have been out of shape when I repaired it, will fix it tomorrow with a bit of wood and my slender frame

The door looks straight and the landy looks bent in the pic :eek:
 
This is one of those threads that gives me the motivation to keep going when my own build is getting me down. Keep up the good work!
 
First thing today we straightened up the back door

Started putting the dash back but I seem to have lost the windscreen sprayer wotsit, so had to stop for the day

Turbo should be coming Tuesday but too busy next weekend to get it fitted!:)
 
Just had a great read.

I don't have a defender but plenty of other projects I need inspiration for. :)
 
Thanks dan, but we'll wait till it rains and see!
No need to wait, it will leak like a sieve :D Probably not the back door, looks like you've got a great fit. Roof seams and front doors are bound to leak.
Nice clean intact seats and stuff you have there, looks like a not too distant door too :)
 
Had a bit of extra filling to do where I went silly with the flappy grinder disc

Sanded and painted, the paint takes ages to dry so will leave it for a week

I'm loving this thread!!! Loved how your inexperience is self confessed at the start. But what an amazing job you've done Sir :)
