They are right fiddly fussy things to spray. I know some places don't like them. Flaps, rivets, tub cappings etc. Had a 109 done and they got bored after a few weeks prepping it. 1951 80" S1 2.0

So the photos in the body shop were taken a little while ago, since then i've been beavering away putting it all back together. Some of its been a right
 but i've learned loads. it's taken a few months and well you cant help just doing a few more improvements whilst your at it.
i do think landys look great in a dark colour but really really pleased i stuck with the original colour. The finished truck won't be to everyone's liking but i'm happy with it. Now time to find some lanes.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

I think the only thing it needs is clear side repeaters.

Hello Puffin
Oh that looks just great to my eye...well done
Colour coded front end also IMO just looks right, overall the whole Defender looks nicely 'sorted'. Looks like you too have used the Pacer Wheel Arch Extensions, which I have no regrets in fitting after 3 years, less mud down the sides and protects the main wheel arch, when hedgerows get too close.

Good spot - i've had them on for a similar period and don't regret it at all. Mine have taken a bashing but have scrubbed up ok. On the front i have the gwyn lewis extenders as well which helps and on the rear some dirt defenders. cheers |

thanks arran, Its a custom stainless exhaust i had done last summer. I had it straight through for a couple of years and although it was fine around town as soon as you opened the taps i found i could only do about 25 miles before i was demented. took it to a local exhaust specialist and between us we came up with the twin pipe. large exits look good but its not the same size where the sun don't shine. the mud flap / exhaust brackets can be removed for greater clearance on the lanes.
