hi any defender owners around my area who could cast an eye every now and again on my rebuild,be good to have a second pair of eyes to see if Ive forgotten some thing

ok ill check that out,im waiten for a galvanised chassis so only need to degrease then etch prime,but im going for a silver colour,was thinking of white but was told it can look cak after a while

wow allan that looks lovely,i have seen that por 15 silver does it need overcoating was thinking of just that then maybe a clear waxoyle

what would you lot go for enamel,2pac or a proper chassis paint?

think i'v seen your pics,does look good,i think i may go down the enamel route on the chassis but im leaning towards raptor on the axles and rods,im also going to send the axles of to get galvanised

what make paint did you use on your axles?

this has made my mind up,im useing it on my chassis and axles,great job the red looks nice

i new it would be good idea asking you guys,im going silver,havent found a silver chassis paint yet tho? i still really want to colour up the axles and other bits was going to use raptor on those but think i will prob go black,its only going to be a toy for the summer and yes it will be garaged

anyone out there used raptor on there chassis?

what silver is that flossie?

havent thought about silver,looks nice.think if people looked under at the chassis like they always do would be a good wow factor in white,i dont want it to look tacky tho
