It's looking immaculate. You've also got a splendidly big shed to work in - I'm envious.

Been a while . Have been building a house recently but have been purchasing some new bits to fit to my defender . Have got a full safety devices roll cage and roof rack , not sure if I'm going to fit the roof rack yet but we'll see when the cage is on . I have almost finished making a rear load cover from two knackered Nissan mountain tops. I still have to fit the silent coat and new carpet set & mazda seats and a few other interior bits . Also I have fitted some twisted style 16" wheels with 285 75 16 Stt Pro's. (Bit of road rumble but at least there round)
My main issue is suspension , The present handling is terrible as I had to fit the old springs / struts when I did the chassis swap as I ran out of money .
I would like to level the dc out as I'm not keen on the raked stance & go a little higher to avoid wheel scrub, I'm thinking of getting Old Man Emu Nitro charger struts but am not sure about springs . i guess I'll need a plus 2" spring and a 2" Block in the front to level it out. I also will be fitting F&R Anti roll bars.
I would be thinking of adding a 35 or 33 tyre at some point as I'm aiming for it to look something like the Himalaya Defender but in Green / Black.
I would appreciate if someone could recommend a suitable spring option.
Kind Regards and Joyeux Noel.
