2drdan Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I've had this defender for over a year now but never posted up a piccy so her she is. I've added the rear corner checker-plate to cover a couple of creases and a rear work light. The job list goes on as; replacing front and rear radius arm bushes, replacing the front swivels and wheel bearings (went for latest teflon swivels), replacing rear prop, replacing uj's in front prop, rebuilding top end of engine after cam belt failure and lastly ( not including the rear box build posted else where) I had to replace the seat foam in the drivers seat as it had collapsed so went for a complete front set from Exmoor Trim in their 'Outlast' black canvas fabric. I'm very pleaed with the result, the seats are like new (you'd hope anyway, so I'm glad about that ) and the job was relatively simple. I throughly recommend this as an alternative to replacing the entire seat !! The beginning.. The new seats Cubby box is in charcoal leather from the same supplier and was a present from my fantastic girlfreind!! I'd love to get some other stuff sorted and in the list will be a wheel and tyre set up and a suspension sort out .....light guards and an A bar with driving lights will be the next mod with the rear boxes and bed set up going on in the background... Cheers all Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
