Nice few jobs done, the heater controls are quite nice to use when they're free

Well that's another job off the list
 I fitted the front anti roll bar, I will take more photos tomorrow, as my bloody phone died.
Not a bad little job to do, took longer to sort out the bits than it did to fit the unit. Still needs a little check over I think, as I am not to sure about the drop links. It has really stabilized the front mind, and made the defender a lot more stable to drive. Laugh is the front anti roll bar is heavier than the rear for some reason, I will have a set of spare bushes and two clamps coming up for grabs shortly.

I should really have gotten some more photos of the front anti roll bar installation, I did take the landy out for some diesel and quick run for some cash and dog food, I went along the road I come back from work on and the two jobs I have done so far have really made it more stable. Steering was a massive difference, I feel more connected to the road now, and it feels more stable at high speed with the wind too. I still might do a grafty and lower it I think once I am sorted.
Got something else to show off too, buy you lads will have to wait Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

The steering clayton was getting quite iffy for some reason. My dad had a quick once over with the steering and he said that's miles better now. Plus its made it lot safer too for me and to other road users too.

today me and my mate fitted the rear swing way, and also weld the door frame a bit more, as it was starting to fail again. Then it was a case of drilling and two rivets, removing two grab handles, cleaning the holes off with the drill and trip to the screw fix place. Then the full lot bolted on, took us longer to prep than it was to do the job, I will take photos tomorrow as the light was going and the temp was dropping drastically.
