what did you have the chassic painted with? is it paint or powder coat?
i'm looking to use Alpine Restorations to do a chassis swap on my Defender; so good to see you are happy with Matts work.

Where did you get the bulkhead?

The 90 was already Caledonian blue so I wanted to keep it totally original, so Matt used two pack and after much patience we got the desired result.

Matt sourced the bulkhead from a Huddersfield firm that repairs and refurbishes defender bulkheads then galvanises them.

It was obvious my old bulkhead was beyond repair so a really sensible option.

Feeling a bit gutted

Moving house in 2 months and circumstances mean there is no space for the 3 cars we have.

The Landy is the most under used so after all this I am going to have to sell it, not very pleased, need the room and a car for motorway driving so having a sad weekend.

Just to update the Landrover is saved, changed jobs no long commute, thankfully not for sale anymore and with the rag poles shortened goes in the garage with no issues. Just sent the hood off to be custom shortened to match.

My son is very pleased as am I it would have been heart breaking after the rebuild to have to sell it.
