Fitting the rear side glasses,
I was told to put the inserts on the out side, but i thought they are better on the inside for better security.

I noticed that my left rear side glass was fitted with the bead on the outside - I took it off and put it on the inside for that very same reason (security). I noticed that I have two glasses the same as on the LH the words are back-to-front

Looking good - I like the door repair pics.
The colour looks ace too...

Keep the pics coming

Thats funny, mine is the same, my mate goes you put that glass in the wrong way round, but when i went to fit the other, the writing was exactly the same.

Thanks mate!

Looks ace mate well done

Cream of jobs today, fitting of my wheels!

Check them out i'm happy with them, the arches just cover them.

Ansum lookin motor that..

Tailgate now on and rear chequer plates.





Central locking system next...

I bought a central locking system for £20 off e-bay bargain!



The solenoids fit perfect into the door, no rods needed, just direct bolting between the lock and solenoid. (This 0/s door has been modified due to corrosion however.)



N/s door lock solenoid postion on an unmodified door, bolting directly to the lock.



Both door cards fit on perfectly with no adjustment needed, however i will be doing away with the internal door lock buttons. but i think they could even be retained with a little further faffing.

Cut door trims for rubber gaitor fitment for electric wires to run through



Gaitor fitted



Then remove dash, drill lower dash for wiring to go through, and drill bulkhead to fit bracket to hold central locking ECU.



Threading all the cables through



O/s door wired



N/s door



Near side door lock, managed to retain the button too.




Working great!

Interesting mod - not seen done before on a Defender

Adding bling today!

I bought a piece of shiny tread plate off ebay for £3.00 delivered.

The size was 200x100mm, i asked the seller to cut it in half and then when it came i drilled a few holes and then you have the cheapest bumper treads available.

Nice work and great pictures, fantastic paint job - what colour is that?

The colour is: :cheer2:

Polyurethane Extra topcoat Fleet Italia 8500 Grigio 7-512 2K POLY

Thanks - as a matter of interest have you a rough idea of how much paint you used and does the hardener contain isocyanates, you know the stuff that requires airfed masks etc.

I used about 4.5 ltrs, I thought all 2K paint had isocyanates in it.
However things have changed in recent years, i'm not sure TBH.
