My trimming is being done by Transcal in Livingston.
http://transcal.co.uk/ Ben Miller is a good contact both helpful and knowledgeable. They have been brilliant, almost all of the ideas on my interior have come from them, they know defenders inside out, when I was last up there they had around 15 in production and everywhere I looked there were defender parts. They would not tell me who all the works was for. They have done everything from Carpets to seatbelts and in some instance have made items for me (like the cubby lid). Considering the quality of the materials, the design time and making parts (and also fixing my mistakes  ) the costs are very reasonable.
I'm not being paid for my view but I have been critical of almost every other supplier I've come across, its good to have something nice to say, been really good working with Transcal by far the best contributor to my build. |

There about 5 mins up the road from me, always some nice things parked out the front.

Ive got the repaired wing back from the body shop and I'm going to fit the wings up this weekend, however I'm not sure of the process...whats the best/easiest way...
1. Fit the liner plus top/front, then add the side panel once the wing and liner is done or 2. Fully make the wings up (liner,top,front and side) off the the van, then fit them any advice appreciated... |

I’ve only ever done option 1, but it’s straight forward enough. A few of the outer wing to bulkhead bolts are a bit of a stretch to torque up, but it is doable.
