Still slowly modding the interior. First was a shake up in the back caused by a new fridge. A Halfords 75 litre fridge freezer in place of the old 30 litre coolbox.

Then between dog guard and rear seats I mounted a boot organiser. This has go all the clutter from under the back seats. Warning triangle, cable ties trailer number plate jump pack.
The freed up space will in future be used for a diesel heater and air compressor

And finally I collected the new front seats I won on eBay and fitted them tonight. Comfort is vastly improved the old ones had spilt foam and one Bolster the metal frame was exposed

Just been piling on the miles and getting 27mpg. Had to replace a seized alternator but otherwise zero issues

1983 Defender 110 Other HT Auto Keswick Green

Nice 110, there's something honest about an unrestored old one. I do miss my old 110 van, it was a proper banger, but somehow still nice.

Did you ever cure the leak on the drivers side footwell? If not it may be worth replacing the gasket behind the windscreen billets. I had the same and a pair of £3.50 gaskets solved the problem.

Fitted new door seals and latch and that cured a lot of the leak but I do still get a small puddle. At some point I am going to take off the roof windscreen
and rear sides to replace a lot of the seals that have perished

Friend got married in Italy. Now you could get a e
Ryan air flight but there’s no fun in that. What you need is a 2500 mile round trip via Monaco and Switzerland. Zero issues except a leaky transfer box that needed regular top ups

Totally agree with you on not taking the air flight, thanks for sharing the pic's and looks as if you were having a good time
