That place brings back memories, called in while doing a Mountain leadership course possibly 1970 to take some Venture Scouts out for a walk. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Glad you enjoyed the video, there was a few challenging sections, and my disco was okay missed the wall by about 2-3inch, was a very tense moment sliding on ice towards it.

but the day after my transfer box destroyed its self, luckily it wasnt whilst on the mountainside

Progress has slowed down now on the 90, weekends getting busy again with the evenings getting lighter weekend trips away will becoming frequent. So no play time on the 90 this weekend. But i did purchase all new rear lights for the old girl. They are the standard type as i personally dont like the LED style. (i may change my mind once i can actually drive the 90 again) but also they are much cheaper to replace when you smash one Laughing
So here is a quick photo of the lights in one side of the rear. they still need fixing in to place and wiring to the loom. that will have to be another day though.
Also noticed i still need to pull the masking tape off the reflector.

Been looking at seating for the 90, As i currently have some old Discovery tdi seats in and these have collapsed and generally look abit s**t. I have stumbled across the Sparco R100 seats and wondered has anyone fitted these and what are they like? they also look like you can buy fixing plates and the runners for them from Island 4x4, are these a straight fit on to the existing seat box to where original defender seats are mounted?

Not much happened with the build this weekend, due to: A) the weather been so nice! B) finding a broken spring and worn out shock on my D2.
Isnt it fun owning land rovers, they like to keep us on our toes haha

So on the 90 i just added some new door handles and started fixing the lights onto place, also sprayed the inside of the boot door black. Waiting on parts for the engine to turn up, and now also waiting on new springs and shocks.

The boot door now with black checker plate.

Both doors with the new mud stuff door handles in place.

Then crawled under it and fitted the extended bump stops as i found these at the back of the container.

The back of said container is slowly giving me more space to move about in again

Finally for the weekend i made a start on removing the old headlight units out of the wings, I should have probably done this at the beginning of the strip down nevermind. After finding the screws to be all rusty and the heads rounded off i gave up and will come back with a drill thats got charge in it to drill out the screws
