    Defender nut and bolt rebuild

    Wow didn’t realize it could be worth that much ! My initial thoughts was £25-£30k Think I may have underestimated its value to the garage owner. Well if anyone offers me £35-40k its going !

    Defender nut and bolt rebuild

    Spare wheel cover turned up today, another ebay bargain due to a few small scratches it cost me £41. A scotch pad and a quick spray job and hey presto as new, have to admit its a bit of a struggle to get it over the tyre (bit like trying to get a condom on an african elephant) but will look good...

    Spare wheel carrier painted and the spare bolted on, the wheel and tyres looked big on the landy but look bloody huge when hung on the back ! I think I may need some weigh on the front now to keep the wheels on the ground 🤦‍♂️🤪 maybe a set of ford tractor weight may do the trick haha

    Spare wheel carrier painted, brackets fitted but going to leave the swing arm a day or two to fully harden before fitting. Have ordered some stainless bolts instead of using the BZP ones supplied.

    SP4x4 swing away spare wheel carrier arrived yesterday didn’t like the galvanized look so decided to etch, prime and paint it blue the same colour as the landy. Here it is primed ready for painting, only problem is I’ll have to wait till Monday as I’ve run out of 2k paint hardener. Best things...

    Defender nut and bolt rebuild

    Galvanized Front bumper painted black, dried and fitted this morning. I had to lead solder up the pre deilled holes that were in the end of the bumper as the 300tdi did not come with the plastic bumper end caps as standards these were introduced with the TD5.

    Defender nut and bolt rebuild

    Thinking of putting a v8 chevy 4.7 in the early def, but it’s already got a refurbished 2.5L diesel from Turner engineering which sounds and runs like a swiss watch, already in a galv chassis it’d be a shame to separate
