Had to get the defender out today so here is some piccys. Very nearly finished but still lots to do in the interior.

Also fitted snorkel last week.

Lots of little jobs done today not worth taking pictures but sorted final fitment of sliding draw and brother did a little more more to toylander. Anyone seen a Russian doll before? Hahaha.

I think the wheel will be to wide. It's wider than the wheel box and I have a centre pull out draw. That's why it would need to be above it. Good idea tho.

That's what I'm hoping my youngest will be doing. He is only 20 weeks tho at the moment. We did have it driving round on the grass today. But sorry to sunny for mud. :)

Here is what I am going to do with mine. Sorry about the drawing just haven't got round to making in yet. Will have a strap from tub side around the wheel to hold in in place. Had tyre on rear do and the door cracked all the way up through. We made a wheel hanger for it but didn't like it. So...

Brother did some more work to the toy defender also. We gone it running but I have no idea how to up load videos on here. Lol

Had to turn defender round today so took the time to put normal wheels back on and see how she sits.

Found it. Makes interesting reading looks like we are all find to do what we want. To land rovers. Towbar EC Type Approval EC 94/20 type approval regulations were introduced in the United Kingdom on 1st August 1998 as a part of the wider European Whole Vehicle Type Approval. The...

Wouldn't like to say the cost of making one. My brothers man hours and adding up fast.

Yes is will be. Using a old mobility scooter system. Motor is already installed. Will get some pictures next week. All he will have to do is push the pedel. Hehe:D

I'm not putting glass back in as I was going to tint all the glass jet black anyways so would be useless to look through from both side. Mainly for sercuirty reasons. It is already fitted to the door itself will post pictures soon as it's hanging.

Didn't realise that was the case. Seen many tow bars home made on old a new vechiles. Many vintage shows I go to some way shape or form a old type vechile has been modified to tow a modern caravan or showmans van, or vice versa. And also anyone can buy a approved tow bar from ebay or a dealer...

I went the second alternator way. To me I didn't want to compromise starting the engine. So normal alternator runs standard electrics and starting. Second alternator and my home made fuse box runs all my extras. Spot light front rear, winch, cb,rear cab light etc etc etc. if this ever goes flat...

Here is mine. It's bolted both through front of cross bomber and in the bottom of cross member. I have two large metal straps back to the chassis legs which have removable pins through chassis. The main tow bar piece itself is a piece of box section into a larger piece of box section again with...

Brother has been busy with the toylander too.

Been busy again today. Fitted door card and all the remaining bits to finish that on one side. Also fitted defender sign on rear body. Not to everyone's taste but I like it. Also had to make a new door skin on rear door. The one under this was so bad I would have had to buy a new door. So...

It's a Matt nato green. Ebay purchase. And I have lacquared over top. The Matt paint is not very strong and scraches very easy that's why I lacquared over it.

Realy easy to be fair. I was amazed how easy. Just pull the centre insert rubber out from main rubber and just pull. As you start pulling the glass just follows the rubber. Abit of fairy liquid and they pop straight back in.
