Also could it be possible to send your lad over when he has finished the refurbishment as I have quite a few Defender jobs that need attention and he looks as if he knows what he doing… Bow down Rolling with laughter

That looks terrific, did you rust treat before repainting and what paint did you use?

Don't like the compass so re order with no graphics. Will have to wait until it's all back together to decide if I like the back graphics or not

You could always get some original styled decals like these?
I have a set of the latter for my Defender.

Nice, I love the satin paint! Looks fab.
I actually sold a 90 to a mate under the instruction that he had to paint it satin NATO...he did just that!
