Been realy busy lately but have managed to get truck MOT and tax and fully insured now. All lights working and installed some recovery flashers just for the hell of it. Lol
Off to the carpenter to get wood work sorted in the back on Saturday.
If I was installing insulation in the back between wood work and outer skin what would people use?......
I was thinking 25mm celatex board from wickes. Any good?...
Cheers.

Looking good, not sure if those decapitators, i mean branch deflectors are quite street legal though

I spec not. Lol. I assume they are all not legal on any landrover unless just used off road? Seen lots of defenders with them.

Well I'm one for saving money if I can so Made myself some 2 inch lift blocks. And got myself a set of -2" rear shock mounts also. Already have fitted longer brake lines etc so fitting Saturday fingers crossed. So in total should be a 4 inch lift if you include the shocks and springs already fitted.
Also got hold of some 15 inch tall 10 inch wide modular steel wheels which will be fitted one day but tyres are a fortune! Lol.

Front end. This was taken cripple weeks ago. So pretty much the most up to date photo. I'm waiting to side panels now etc and roof.
Great thread, definitaly following this one.
The steering and diff guard are made or bought?
Also made up some new parts for the side body corner mounts. As mine were rotten!!!!

Your rebuild is top drawer, mate. Great talent, well done.
Can you remember the diameter studding you used and how long you cut them for the corner mounts? Did you put the rubber bushes in? Mine were rotten too and I haven't been able to find them in my boxes of bits. I think I might have accidentally thrown them out.
Are those made up washers with the three lugs turned up standard? I can't remember them on mine.
