some tub restoration.. i purchased galvanised cappings for it that are slightly rusted in one or two spots i will have them re done along with another few bits

finally got back to it.. swamped with kids but they are getting a little easier to manage now.. just treated the chassis with aquasteel rust treatment and finished t off with very hot waxoyl.. also treated it to two new rear shocks

ffs it was showing them a moment ago.. if an admin see ths can they please delete the mess ive created on here lol

ive just seen that im trying to use photobucket but not working for some reason

im waiting for some chassis treatment to arrive in the post so i said i would tackle the tub and see if its salvageable,, it looks repairable.. however im going to try look out for a replacement... if one doesnt come up soon i will try make a new storage panel for it

got at it again today and a few hours yesterday i replaced the front right outrigger after the previous owner had did a bad patch job on it.. a beast of a job.. i used the existing bulkhead as a guide so id have a reference point.. for anybody reading this make sure you support the bulkhead...

wow the are snaggy here.. if i ever get mine in for the test i will be amazed if it passes first time lol.. well done on the rebuild..

its looking great mick.. i will have to call back up to you to see it finished.. just wondering how you put the bend in the rock sliders pipe

hi has anybody ever sand basted and reglvanized Cappings if so how did it work out.. did they warp or anything on you

how it looked last august 2018 when i stopped at it

a little bit of red neck repair from the previous owner

so to follow on i havent touched it in months.. a third child and a busy few months and ive done nothing in a long long while.. i finished patching the chassis the other day.. have one bulk head outrigger to patch and i will do when i remove the bulkhead.. i will be steam wash the chassis soon...

that looks unreal mate.. hard to believe its the same defender i saw a year ago
