Hi

Not sure if anyone is interested but I thought I would show how the back of my defender has come along since I bought her last September.

It has taken a lot of hard graft but worth it and I am quite chuffed as its my first attempt. :D

All in all it has cost me roughly £150

If anyone else has a before and after shot of their load space area I would be most interested so I can maybe improve on mine further.

Cheers
Jase

Thanks Station House, I am over the moon, my fingers are throbbing and cut to bits lol... well worth it but very hard to get it all in as I had to build it outside and varnish it first ..

Trouble is I want to add more!!! . . Will us Defender boys ever stop tinkering? lol
 
Thanks one and all....great comment.
As for the hinges, I tried every which way to get them sodding things on the inside and I will be chuffed if I could get them to work that way...sigh.... still it gives me a great excuse to redesign and try again :O)

Click to expand...

only banter mate .. its just the job, clean and tidy ...:)
 
No 1-Spin, you are right, I really wanted them hinges on the inside and it just got to me in the end and ....well....yes.... you guessed it....they just got drilled plain and simple lol..... no messing :)
 
The only problem I can see is that your now going to require coasters when you put your brew down on top of it....yah poofter;):D:D:D:D:D


looking good:)
 
Now that made me laugh Sirus..... Coasters.... Naaaa can't be arsed with that! besides it looks tidy as I have just completed it today.... when all the normal rubbish gets chucked back in for a trip off road / show / camping it will look like normal lol lol

All I need to do now is find a single inward facing seat for my lad and try fitting it myself! should be fun
 
very nice job there.
giving me some good inspiration that is.
do you get any squeaks from wood rubbing on metal when on the move?
 
This is my conversion of an old transit van that belonged to a messy builder.
