Well, Geoff (Tubes) came round for a few bits yesterday, Check over/Oil change, waxoil and the most important thing was the treatment to the X-Member
So first off i completely rubbed down the Member. After treating the really bad areas i keyed up with a smoother grade paper to get a nice smooth finish. I then used red oxide to protect the Xmember from further rusting. After mixing the paint up i then proceeded to coat the xmember up with a original look ( Satin Black ). A nice coating of waxoil and job done

You mean you going to paint it red then?  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Looks good. I would have titled it refurbishment rather than repair, I was half expecting to see a DIY guide to rear cross member replacement or rot removal and patching. Steve.

Why didn't you take the tow bar off first? Doing it with the tow bar still in place means the crap behind it didn't get sorted? John

When i have refurbed xmembers in the past the first two i ever done i removed the tow bar to find a perfectly new looking bit behind. Were the tow bars are fitted they protect the paint from fading so hence no rust. Is true though in a way but from past experience it has been spot on behind there CSK Automotive
