I've decided the best way is just to buy new parts so there's no corrosion to deal with before making them bomb proof so sills will probably come next (although I've been thinking about rock sliders lately) i was looking at prices on brit car which are about £45 per side for genuine as non gen have a funny cut out at the bottom which I didn't like. In the end someone put a pair up on ebay that finished at a funny time so I got both sides genuine for about £30 but with powder coating and zinc at another £30 then paint etc I'll be in at about £100.

I didn't even last one day being at home with the four kids (all girls) on half term before I had to de-stress and go and buy something for the defender so a quick trip over to see Brendan resulted in some stainless goodies

New cubby box arrived today to replace the very tatty one so the interior is getting nearer. I figure I'll have a brand new defender buy the time I'm 50 at this rate

Think mine will be new in 5 years. The bills are getting scary. Good job its the best car in the world. Faith restored after doing 200 miles in it in 2 days. After a rough few weeks of maintenance. 2001 Td5 CSW (weekend and snow mobile) Plenty of lights, M/T tyres EGR delete, roofrack, swing away wheel carrier, snorkel.

I'll try to remember but it's a pretty straight forward job I'm waiting to get the panels back from the powder coaters at the mo. Ray |

First job done with the cubby boxes swapped. As you can see the old one is rather tatty!

Mine came with a nylon bag with velco on the back, maybe that could be fitted there?

Left it too late today so only managed to fit one of the new stainless sill trims from 4x4 overlander. But have to say they are great quality, come with all bolts, anti seize paste and fit perfectly

Rears in too now and just like the fronts the fit and finish is perfect. The only problem now is that the check strap mounts now look even worse next to the nice stainless so I need to buy new ones of those now. I'm going to have to set up an account at Brendan's

rather annoyed today!! I've got a job to do on the defender soon so have been gathering bits to get everything done at once, one thing I decided to add while the front was off is silicon hoses so I ordered them 4 WEEKS ago as they don't keep them on the shelf (I wanted black ones so they don't look boy racery) they turned up today........ IN BOY RACER BLUE so now I have to wait for them to make some more which will be about 4 weeks

As I do mainly road driving I decided to give anti roll bars a try as when I got the 110 it didn't have any on so today I've fitted the front bar and I'm just waiting for the brackets for the rear bar so that can go on in the next week or so. I'll report back if there much difference when both are fitted.
Thanks for looking Ray |
