yep, agree with all the other comments, you`ve done a very proffesional approach to restoring a used fender, bring it back into top condition.

Thanks for all the kind words, i would rather take my time and do it once than rush it and do it twice. I'm just learning as i go along!

It was a bit of a head scratcher! If i had to remove the wiring again i would spend more time labelling it up. What you stuck on?

You wouldn't be able to tell me what colour the paint is? Im rebuilding mine and I think its the same colour, and I was thinking of going to oslo blue but I think this would suit my defender better.

Looks great, and the chassis will never rust!

Are you planning on getting all the tother rust spots (cappings, bulkhead etc.) galvanised too at some point? They do tend to rust quickly on these vehicles, no matter how well primed and painted they are unfortunately.

Did some more tinkering over the weekend. I'm planning on lifting the body and rolling the chassis out from underneath on a dolly, well thats the plan....

Spent a couple of hours lastnight and managed to drop the chassis down which felt like a bit of a milestone

Hopefully get her removed over the next few days

Good work. I must say removing the body in one piece seems a lot less work. Just wish I had the space to do it like that.
