Nah mate, there all proper repairs, (sheetmetal worker by trade).
I was just intrigued to know what individuals limits were. I do have a cross member on order.

To All,
Aesthetic attachments aside, Im curious to find out where you draw the line when repairing or restoring with your pride and joy.
In the four years of owning my Defender 110, Ive replaced and repaired the following:
Gearbox, (reconditioned)
Refabricated/rewelded bulkhead
Replaced numerous gaskets
Clutch
Clutch Slave & Master Cylinder
Side & Tail Lights
Repainted inside and out, twice!!!
Speedo Cable
Outstanding Jobs:
Rear X-Member, (Think Ive covered this enough for next MOT)
Neg Earth Fault on lighting system
Replace Number Plate Light
Replace Fuel Filter Housing
I enjoy doing this very much, but I do wonder if there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Cheers

Forgot to mention, my reason for the question is on page 89 of this months LRW magazine.
After reading what you lot have described not sure that its worth the investment

Thanks guys.
Have been very impressed with what Ive seen and read so far.
I have a number of pictures to add in the coming future showing my running repairs, mainly fabrication and various home made modifications.
Look foward to picking your brains for advice.
