Thanks for all the kind words, there's always loads to do

got a few bits on the interior to finish and I need to get the stereo updated, another thing I'm contemplating is having the roof and wheels in black but I can't decide, might try some of that paint that some have used on here that you can peal off if you don't like it, fancy some sawtooths too, decisions decisions

I picked up the seat modification panels the other day and I've got to say they're a nice piece of engineering, bent from one piece of aluminium, doubled up where the seat mounts and perfect welding, they make the seats a doddle to fit, any way got chance to fit them this afternoon, took me about 6 hour to do but that was taking out and putting back the seats and re carpeting, still got e few bits to trim up but im happy

enough of the writiing here's the pics

Yeah I've decided on keeping the white roof too, your defender was one of the inspirations for going the way I have with mine

Looks good.

Where did you get the seat modification panels from?

This thread should serve as an inspiration to all Defender (and 90/110/130) owners as to what can be achieved with a bit of hard work and inginuity to create the vehicle you want from the humblest of base vehicles.
You have created a fantastic Defender, well done

Not done a lot the defender recently apart from getting the rear seat belts sorted and finding a rear door card, not got any pics yet though
Then today a big thanks to ChrisD90 as I picked up my new wolf wheels and goodyear tyres from him to replace the boosts and BFG AT's which I decided didn't suit the green/white roof, over the moon with them and got them fitted this aft

Thanks mate, good to meet you and was a pleasure doing business.

You didn't waste any time getting them fitted

They look fantastic with the white roof, a perfect match for your Defender.
I think those wheels have now found their rightful home

Have to say those wheels really do suit your truck especially with the white roof...

Just read this thread from beginning to end for the first time - what a fantastic job

Notice you've got rid of the a-bar - is it planned to keep it off??

Thanks, I too think the white wolfs suit the white roof better, it's taken a while to get it this far CEEGEE but I enjoy tinkering and it's surprising what you can do with these defenders, you can make them into whatever you like to suit your needs, the abar was taken off as I decided to stick with the classic look and I prefer it without now
I finished off fitting the rear seat belts today so that's another job off the list and now all 4 seats can be used safely
