Progress again All bits painted and waiting to go back on. In the photo attached the rest of the body above the 'waist' will be black (panoramic windows) the back door is blue below and black above. Starting to go back together now and in true 'Grand Designs' a tad over budget. Wish I had the...

Gattso Close but no cigar . they do have them but they are not quite right. Thanks anyway.

They were at a loss re the oxidation but I've had some success with zinc paint on the pitting before filler. They have had a go with that and we will have to wait and see. I'm using Cplate on the back door because i'm fitting (I'm having fitted) a swing away wheel carrier

Colour! Looks like they may be cracking on this week.

I think it says 50 litres Jack?

Are the feed pipes getting hot?

In winter I blank the bottom of the rad and fasten the viscous fan to the cowling by drilling a blade and using a zip tie. Have on occasion forgotten to reverse this in summer i found that at about 30 miles on the motorway the gauge starts to climb. Pull off break the zip tie and drive on...

I don't know but i think i read somewhere that the modern engines are looking for all sorts of things that the defender may not have. They allegedly are electronically matched to things like the suspension and traction control I believe. There is a commercially available conversion TDV6 into a...

God this is slow at the moment. Wheel fitted for something to do. Any thoughts on my previous post.

Does anyone know where I can get these in the UK. The Wheels and tyres are pushing the standard arches re legality and I've seen a neat installation of these on a defender elsewhere. They can be trimmed back to just legal. Pacer Performance Fender Flares Front Rear Black Synthetic Rubber...

At least I know the guy can paint now. These look powder coated but you can still get the wheel nuts on. Set of BFG muds should go on next week. Unfortunately the landy is still waiting for paint. To those who looked at these on the for sale section and decided against. I am so glad you never...

My missus would kill me if i brought that home. Try Hippy motors if you want to cover up dents

Removed these from sale.

I will have a set of 5 (the same as the ones in you avatar) with 4 muds and one AT on them they are on the 90 at the moment but they will be swapped for my compo motive SXYs when they are ready.

Hoping to stop short of 10K but you never know. (Looks over shoulder to check where about of Doris) I'm guessing 5+ at the moment. Basically shes done a bit of off-roading at the start of my ownership, toured Europe three times , got as far as Spain and the Czech republic. I no longer have...

a year ago i started to strip a wing on the Defender back to bare metal and oxidation. I quite vigorously scraped back the oxidation washed it with white vinegar then water then dried it with a hot air gun before using a very thick lumpy zinc paint on it. Then the weather changed so i gave it...

By the way they are nothing like mine

Is that 'still game'? ' Filtered through Heather!' Now I am hijacking a thread.

Possibly but the only time you need them to work is when you are in reverse. lol. Pretty sure they work in fore and aft mode but good point. Rear facing is more convenient from an access point of view that's all.

I've got two seats with integral inertia shoulder belts came out of a buss i think Plan to fit them rear facing behind the bulkhead. Sorry to hijack the thread but: Any views?
