hell of a project but why not just go for a hummer rebuild on a hummer chassis? what engine you planning for this beast? needs to be at least a 4 litre no? and as for all the haters out there, for f**k sake, how many of you can honestly say; if some one dangled the keys to a military spec H1 in...

don't know, it is in german, i got it from the vw garage we use for our toureg and A5. i will find out what it is called. it dries like iron and apparently it stops rust altogether providing you sand off the surface rust before applyication

yeah i know what you are saying about the interior; it looks as though they flayed zippie to get the trim but its kind of nice in a retro range rover way. i like it. the seats are bloody comfortable and its a nicer ride than me defender, not that i am saying ny thing against my beloved you...

oh and while we are here; i just painted my rear crossmember with some special rust proofing that dries a greyish white. i was going to coat that in black hammerite but looking at it gives me a thought. what do y'all think about paintin it off white to match the roof??

i f**king love defenders but JESUS they can be a head ache at times

guess its the peddal box or summink

I can't beleive it. i have sealed my vents shut with the most silicone possible ( a whole sodding tube ) and now its raining and the drivers side floor is filling up still. lord have mercy and give me patience, but WHAT THE F**K NEXT!!!!!

But that is no excuse. I did let the side down.

I know. I am ashamed of myself. I did sit back and chuckle as a cherokee turned, pitched and rolled down the same hill though. all his fuel lines ripped out, rear suspension snapped and windscreen popped. i mannaged to slide gracefully and in a controlled fashion into a nearby tree, thus...

yeah tell me about it. not only was I the only Englishman there I was also the only Defender. all the rest were Jeep CJ's, Cherokees and rice burners

thats not what I said. had to get winched up by a toyota.

i will open the window. and the crack was done on the Alpen cup course. i slid down a hill and hit a tree

Bloody rust

now its time to strip and repaint me rear cross member. Got to work round all the rusty patches on the chassis as well. found this great paint stuff. you have to mix two parts together and it dries like iron. have to strip all the paint and rust off first though wish i hadn't...

HOW VERY DARE YOU.

It is done! Big thanks to Bustersbus and everyone else. I took the whole dash out and found the biggest culprit for leaks. it was the front vents. I sealed the buggers shut and now, hopefully, it should be the end of my troubles. Cheers all!

Ok will do. thanks for that it was quite cathartic. I will now become a Range Rover owner. probably see me on this part of the forum a lot from now on with all the problems its bound to develope! Cheers mate
