Rather you than me on the drive Wing fits fine about midway in the slots

Ye i dont know how some can do it with just a standard garage i have bits all over and still short of room in a 1000 squire ft garsge/workshop

Now i just need to rember where i stored the wings

Ah never gave that a thought Geuss i need to mock wings up to see what they look like Im prity sure rest of cab and roof will b ok On another note i did an outrigger on a frends 90 and it only had 1 spacer in so clearly landrover only worked to the nearest 1/4 inch

Thats the worry . Landrover fitted them for a reason even though the seat box an rear floor were a very poor fit when i stripped it down Im not concerned about door gap as that is set by the b post welded in position All it means is the 5 brackets that surport the rear cab will move forward on...

Thought so seen somwhere where the bottom of a 90 B post is slightly ajustable

Sill and b posts in floors sat in place and all holes line up Did have some messing about with spacers (started a thead about it in defender forum) Bit of repair work now on back of the lower section of the cab where it was fixed to an angle surport full width . Electrolisis has eaten it...

Pic of bulkhead to outrigger (no spacers in ) Pic showing bottom of b post welded to sill channel Pic of end of sill channel to a post/bulkhead this is only way to ajust door gap on a 130dcpu by meanes of spacers but its set at 34 5/8ths so is corect Next two pics show the bracket and...

Painted a few more bits today seat box top and front floor plates Made a bit of a school boy error in that i have sent the battery box and drivers side box for galve thinking i would paint all the bits seperatly without thinking about the riviot heads once i reasemble being not painted as they...

All done . Couple of hours thismorning had the new outrigger trimmed up and welded in Not to bad to do but owner did half the work by cutting old one out and cleaning every where ready for welding new bit wasnt the best fit and if i had been fitting it as intended by removeing all the old one...

Its about ready for a new chassis i welded a new rear member on a year or two back but the owner dosent have the space to do it which is a shame as he has the time and the skills ( industrial spana man by trade) Finished picks tomarow night
