This weekend I have been tidying up the sills and pillars.

As the defender has thrown a wobbly there is now pressure to finish so I can clear the workshop and get my daily transport sorted!

This means the sills and pillars will be going all satin black for the time being.

There are some new inner wings coming on Wednesday and (dare I say it) things will be going back together next weekend

Ahh ! like 2 peas in a pod grafty.
Would you believe my 110 has also just thrown a wobbly and delivered to A&E for the usual clutch and g/box surgery, fortunately at the same time as RRC passes MOT ( not without surgery also ) I might add.
Top work and pics , your doing a great job
LR special department are charging £150k for a RRC rebuild.

So annoying! At least your RRC passed! If only my defender could have lasted another month!

Nearly 10 years of ownership without any major problems

Probably nervous of being neglected when the range rover is done

normally the case really grafty, you get your self sorted with a project and the daily decided to have a hissy fit! I tell you what's worse, trying to sort out your daily and your project car you got on the road is starting to die!
After the years of hard work i put into a car, using it for 3 months really showed how unreliable the car was sadly. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it!
