Diff gone

It's having new wings and door skins and a total respray, then I'm going to sell it in the view to eventually swap it for a 110

Dog guard and tow bar gone, thanks for the beer :D

Nope, it's in bits ready for paint :(

What David_Cooper said, I think I got mine as a kit from somewhere

Sure, PM me your address and I'll post them. I reckon the postage will be about £5 if that is ok?

Bump, I really need this gone as I'm going to be rebuilding a Mitsubishi 3000GT engine in the garage. Any of the above is free if you can come and get it (minus the dog guard cos it isn't mine to give away)

Have you checked the UJ's in the prop shaft? They can make a chirping noise

I went with repair panels and galvanised steel skins from SP Land Rover as I couldn't justify 440 per door for a whole new door. You don't need to worry about the skins not bending, they bend really easily, I'm constantly worried I'm going to wreck them moving them! I've T-washed them and they...

Getting the defender ready for paint this weekend, loads left to do but I'm slowly getting there How it started First took the roof rack and tent off Then I spent the next two days fitting the wings, definitely not Aarons pace! They were just so hard to line up, have to say I'm not amazingly...

haha, or a skin coloured defender!

Yeah, I can't decide. Chequerplate and wheel arches are black, I'm thinking a black roof might look good. Though all of the chavvy defenders seem to have black roofs

Updaaate Time for the bodywork... So I've now got - two galv steel door skins - two TD5 wings - TD5 repeaters - hinges - handles - galv end cappings - all new badges - door repair panel things - door cards I've also found a guy who is going to paint the whole thing for me for £600 or less...

I actually cancelled my order as the wait was a month from Exmoor and they annoyed me by not telling me until I had ordered! Also, Marmaduke had a point and I don't think nice carpet will help me sell a utility vehicle any easier! Steering wheel just got delivered, pretty chuffed with it actually

Mostly because I had no interest at all in it when I tried to sell, I realise I may have been a little ambitious with the price, but I would have thought I might have at least had one phone call.... I reckon I would only get £6-7k for it at the moment, but if I spend a bit in getting it more...

Yes, I will be when all of the work is done. I can't justify only using it a handful of days a year and leaving it outside ruining all the work I did, kind of want a fun weekend car now. Though Sarah has mentioned wanting a 110 double cab so I may do one of those in the future if I find a good...

I went for a standard 2nd hand XS leather one in the end. Also ordered an exmoor trim carpet set for the interior, so it's going to be like new when I have finished

Haha, no it isn't, just got some wear at the top edge. I think I am going to get an XS leather standard one, the size of the current one doesn't bother me and I am still thinking to sell it.

Just the standard one, but it is kind of manky

Finishing off the last few interior jobs while the weather sucks, what are people's thoughts on standard vs. aftermarket steering wheels? I was all for a 14" momo one but now I'm thinking that it might be a bit small and ruin the whole land rover experience. Thoughts? Also, how can they charge...
