    mudflap replacement

    if you cut your new flaps 2-3 inches shorter it makes them alot less prone to getting caught when reversing off road etc. just thought it might help.

    and besides the safety issues i imagine you will knock a cosiderable amount off the resale value If someone wanted a 3 door defender why would they buy a 5 door with two sealed up? I know i wouldnt anyway, thats jus my opinion tho!

    1st defender buying advice!

    If you are considering keeping it long term get a 200 or 300tdi on galv chassis and bulkhead. You could buy 2 like that for 10k And spend some of your change on the interior or soundproofing - new seats etc if necessary
