all in all, she's coming on a treat...:biggrin1:
 
I am disappointed, all this work bobtailing and not a single bit of chequer plate riveted on hiding the scares... Means WLM is not going to have another dodgy-bob to 'discuss' in a lighthearted tone....


(looks very good btw, kinda jealous! ;) )
 
which side, and how much do you need, and also your address and i'll post it to you...if you like as a good will gesture, i'm thinking landyzone stickers for deefer!...;)...lol
 
Good progress!
Only making me want to mine more now!! I just need to find someone to do the ally welding!
Looking forward to the next update.
 
some more pics from the weekend, the end is nigh...;)

1st job was a slight alteration to the rear bumper, (clearance issue)

its definitely getting there now, hopefully in for an m.o.t. in a couple of weeks now...:)
 
few more pics of deefer, been busy on all the tedious bits that no-one sees so its ready for the mot later today...:(

test fit of the front bumper, had to alter it a little as it sat quite low, which looked PANTS...new brackets lifted it a good couple of inches...:p



fitted and painted...



fuel tank fitted and plumbed in, works a treat...



rear bumper sprayed in stone chip...



rear quarters in primer ready for the final paint...:D



now see what the mot man says...WISH ME LUCK!!!:)
 
are u keeping that size tyre and standard arches? or are u cutting arches and fitting extended arches? and bigger tyres?

looking good so far btw
 
Fabbed the tank myself, holds around 58 litres of diesel

Gonna stick with these tyres for now, as I blew the budget weeks ago...lol
 
Forgot to mention that she failed mot on a flexi brake pipe, and because I didn't cut the anti roll bar brackets off!...so to mention another thread on here, that says you can't mot with no anti roll bars, it seems you can...
 
Shame about mot,its come together nice. Should look smart with a fresh lick of paint. Strange one on anti roll bar failing.
