That looks awesome Tom! Definitely the right decision. Did you get the tyres with the wheels? Seriously tempted to get some for mine! Thumbs Up 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Cheers Guys.
Green Machine, yes the tyres came with them. When they wear a bit more ill get a bigger size these are only 265 so smaller overall than the last set. They were second hand off Sam on here who very kindly brought them down to Essex for me Very Happy Defender puma dormobile camper

Look great, I knew you'd get them on soon, but not this fast!
Your poor sprayer Laughing

I still think they're the nicest wheel you can get for a Defender - glad they've gone to a good home Smile

Not much has happened really, mainly just been using and enjoying it which is what its all about isnt it, even ticked over to 10,000 miles Thumbs Up
Exmoor are kindly sorting a hood and fitted my cut down snow vent and aircon front pannel from stanstorey (Thanks again Sam) which I had painted (luckily it just cleared the numberplate)

A quick lunch update! Had a friend in our second jobs who is a stainless steel fabricator make me 2 tailgate hinges for the cross member (Im sure He'd do more if anyones desperate for them) . the originals are good but I found in the past leave little rust streaks. These are identical down to the welds but stainless with stainless bolts, I fitted them with rubber behind as usual so theres no contact. Also put a clear rear fog on and gave the towbar another coat of paint. Thumbs Up

Cheers he sure does, pm'd you. Your soft top will look great Full Fat keep the pics coming Thumbs Up
Still not a lot, had some updates from exmoor and replacement hoods on its way. Got some stainless sills made up which have cleaned up the look a bit more inside. Been in a courtesy freelander for a bit as got recalled for the seatbelts and going back again as the fixed leaky rear diff has got worse from being done. Its been getting a lot of good comments lately out and about which is always nice. Still plenty more on the wish list as ever though! Smile

Making the most of the good weather to, unusual for me to take it fully off but as it was sunny i thought why not

Well can you spot the difference? (hint nice straight hood line)

Replacement hood from exmoor arrived and is a much better fit, without the issues (the backs not done yet in the pic). To me its fantastic service as all companies make the odd mistake, the way they have dealt with it has been great, so a big thanks and 10/ 10 to them Very Happy

Not many other plans really now other than the interior and front bumper (due to a little incident Evil or Very Mad )plus tyres. Im also thinking about a wheel carrier when I can source a wheel and maybe a side stripe down the bottom of the door level in limestone if i dont do the split doors. (thats a fair few plans actually...Gulp!) Thumbs Up Defender puma dormobile camper
