Have had a crazy year with work but managed to get quite a bit done (considering the time i had available) and hoping to make a good stab at it this xmas with time off and a chunk of cash.
Since last update:
New battery
Changed diff, transfer and gear box fluids
Painted the exterior in Black U-Pol Raptor bed liner
New windscreen and seal
Got early defender doors, the ones with lift up handles and wind up windows which I had repaired and matching strikers
New hinges
New door cards and lock cylinders
New headlamp upgrade
New fuel tank inc new sender and fuel return
Welded up, cleaned, rust converted and sprayed chassis with dinitrol kit
Picked up not one but two 200tdi engines to change the 19J with. (One 200tdi is from a defender and the other from a disco)
