 No Flees and smell no worse than me so all good 
Edit to add. Bought a set of santorini black standard land rover arches to go on. The rear hood has arrived from all wheel trim (black) and the frame is nearly ready to go on. Im also getting the sills repainted without checker plate and putting a standard front end on in Santorini also along with the roof so should look good against the white. The front light guards will be removed and new front parts of the wing fitted and painted with no holes along with a steering guard with receiver point. Basically going back on some of the bits I did when I got it and doing it right this time! might do the wheels gunmetal/ metallic dark grey as will look a bit more tasteful aswell. other than visual its now been chipped with a new ecu and will have a new staight through midpipe and fuel pump fitted along with egr blanking. cruise control and a sunroof are on the cards aswell. Ill update more as bits arrive as have no rush with this one so it will be as and when |

Got the canvass all on with heavy duty frame.
Took it on some green lanes aswell, then sent the next day completely cleaning it all again
Anyway looks pretty good all polished and waxed up. Santorini bits are building up but will wait a bit as not sure yet.

If it got what im after id be pretty happy im only advertising it for the time the ebay ads on, if it doesnt sell for that ill keep it.
Just fancy a bit of a change from Defenders as its all ive ever driven. Couple of options in mind if it goes |

Pretty Certain it will be a Mercedes G wagon, Not to say I wont be back in a defender or green oval product in the future possibly though.
That will only be if the Defender sells for what i'd be happy with while its advertised, if it doesnt ill keep it and put my Santorini black bits on it. It seems a lot for the age, but it does have a lot of nice bits on it so I dont know what will happen really? Problem is I like doing bits to it and not sure Ill cope with a normal car long term
It even had some bits fitted today including heavy duty front springs so now sits level with the back

Sold the beast, being collected this week after I put a new MOT on it. Went to the first person to view, they seem very happy with it and the condition which is always nice to hear.

might look for a series to accompany it though  |

luckily not as common though so dont hear of them being stolen and the mindset of Defenders going over here.
(ps. The G im probably going to look at is in your part of the world ) |

This was a lovely truck - you should have made Def2.net membership mandatory to the new owner
So we wouldn't loose sight of it. I'm sure you'll be back to fenders soon though MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html
