1987 Defender 90 300 Tdi CSW Keswick Green

Thanks guys. I wasn't in any fit state to do anything for a while and when i did manage to get some jobs done the photos were all stored on my phone which crashed and bloody O2 formatted it so I lost them all. I have now got my phone to store stuff on some cloud apparently so there's always a backup lol.

I plan on getting a lot of the interior done before it get's wrapped and fitted with Dave's lovely Landy Glass. It was booked in for Christmas to be done but a mishap from me resulted in serious dentage to the roof which had to be replaced again lol. I'm going to get those interior side panels from LaSalle trim to fit, a new headlining with built in speaker pods and hopefully get the sound system sorted. Where those two air vents are on the new RDX dash will have the tweeters installed due to them being redundant and my wife not wanting holes cut in her dashboard. We've had five attempts on him in the last 12 months with people trying to steal him so maybe some more security again. It's already got security measures up the wazoo and i'm struggling to think of what else I can do besides the snap off steering wheel, pedal lock etc.

Thanks my friend. I was on crutches before and now i'm running 5 & 10k's and actually rock climbing lol. Massive change but I would be dead now if I hadn't. I'm nothing to look at but in the photo on the left I actually wasn't at my biggest then. That was the point I stopped letting people take photos of me and I went bigger again. The one on the right was about 4 months ago I think.

Mate, hello from Aussie, & absolutely,...WELL DONE.
I've always got a battle with my weight, nothing extreme like you had, but I got up to 104.5k,...should be around 90k,...which I've got to, but it always has a habit of "creeping up",....I do like my red wine unfortunately!
I'm a bit older than you so I can't run, walking does the trick for me.
Again, well done. Pickles.

No mate not at all, straight on no worries. It's a bit odd because before it seemed to be a bit of a hard ride and I was contemplating changing the springs etc but since fitting the sawtooths and getting the tyres switched over it's much improved. Still trying to work that one out lol.
