I can’t recommend anyone local to you but it might be worth contacting your local Landy club. They will likely have a suggestion or two of local specialists.
Hi and welcome from Stroud!
There have been quite a few defender thefts in the Cotswolds recently so make sure you invest in lots of security measures. Otherwise, enjoy!
Got the 90 back after having the injector pump repaired. It was sent to a local specialist who said it didn’t need rebuilding but the leak was fixed so I’m happy.
How about a fixed ladder on the rear and full length tubular side steps? You could get steps that sit over the top of the wheels which might do the job.
Looks like a great project. If you swap the chassis for a nice shiny galvy one, you know it’ll be good for a long time to come. And it looks like the great basis for an overland truck.
Let us know how you get on.
If you like the RR, keep it. A 110 is a great tow vehicle but it doesn’t have the comforts of the RR, especially if you’re towing a large caravan around the UK or further afield.
Is it new door seal fitted to the roof? This might also be contributing to the angle of the door top if it is. The door seal might not have compressed yet.
The diesel pump has been checked and the leak is from the main body. It’s getting sent off for repair so I’ll be without the 90 for a couple of weeks. Still, it’s cheaper than a new injector pump.🙂
I had similar on a set of door tops on my series 3. I gently bent in the threaded rods that fix into the lower doors until the door top sat flush against the roof panel.
