Hi, looks great and good luck with whatever you do with it. And are those Land Rover 'tears' on the ground below the beast ;):p

PM'd Phill. For info to anyone else interested in NI courier options, Frieghtport couldn't actually quote me for a single pallet from GB to NI. I'm at LRO 2018 next week, so will have to look the other way at anything other than a keyring :(:confused: Disappointing and @doriz option is now...

G, it's all been said before, but this is one hell of a drains-up build and all credit to you, your incredible skill, patience, endurance and deep pockets! Hope to see it at LRO 2018 in a week or so? Thanks again.

Cheers, Phill. I'm currently travelling but will call them on Friday. T.

Does such a thing exist? LOL! I'm looking to buy at least four boost alloys, with/without tyres and continually miss some real bargains because sellers are based in GB and , understandably, prefer collection only. I'm looking for a courier who can collect nationwide and not charge the earth...

IMHO, worthwhile fitting these bolts, if only to deter the casual d@@khead. If you can be bothered taking the diy-approach, you should be able to save a significant amount of dosh.

Some say I'm easily pleased, but I just had to have that pic as my desktop background :p Thanks!! T, .

Hi, looks absolutely amazing and, tbh, I'm very jealous! The 110 looks great, as well...;) Happy island motoring... T.

Seriously, mate? The Defender's continued production was only possible, latterly in particular, because most buyers actually just wanted to drive it along the road and not head over the hedge for a bit of fun. Porsche Cayman GT4 owners would love you :p

Thanks for that; I'll check out the bits and was actually planning to side-hinge it. Cheers

Hi All, I'd like to prepare and paint a bought-in tailgate as part of a soft-top conversion. As you can see from the pic, the central rib is dented and warped; couple of questions: 1. I've beat out the big dents and smoothed the edges as best I can so good to go with prepping the panel (I...

Mike, Someone on this thread did mention the 200 piece socket set and I have this one, or similiar, from Halfords; excellent quality and it carrys a life-time guarantee. Just be aware that Halfords agressively discount this kit from time to time; several years ago, I bought it for £99 and can...

Mike, I THINK :oops: I've sent you a PM but the jury's still out! Maybe you could confirm if it has actually happened, sometime? Trevor

Both look great and bags of potential and options for you. Not sure if you're going to LRO 2018 but I am and hope to sort out my own canopy there amongst those guys; happy to ask around regarding a Hi Cap cover and hoops. Plus, you never know what else can be lurking around these shows! Let's...

Mike, how about considering a 90...? :)

Hi Mike, This all sounds very interesting and you're making me think that maybe I should be looking at removing the tub on mine and doing a clean-up, repair and rust protection exercise,etc. Maybe like you, I took early retirement a while back thinking I could maybe solve world hunger and take...

Yeah, it was him, mate. Tnx. T.

Hi, it's been over a year since your original post, so how did the project go? If all good, maybe you could post some pix and details some of your experiences? thanks

Truly sad to hear of yet another despicable act by a bunch of low-lifes; hope you get the D2 back v.soon.

Hi Litch, it was your comments in a previous thread, where I think you had their cover for about 12 years and still in great condition, that prompted me to contact them. Disappointing, to say the least! T.
