Thanks guys for the kind comments.
I know most of this stuff will never be seen but I’d be doing all the mechanicals anyway so might as well make it look pretty  1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

Thanks chaps.
Wheels and the rest of the stuff to be blasted should be done next week if the weather picks up a bit. Once I’ve got that lot painted it’ll be on to the body work. Seriously considering an Alu-Cab Icarus roof conversion to fit myself but it’s hard to justify the price of them to the wife, she says we could just buy a caravan instead for the money! 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper Last edited by db950 on 10th Jul 2020 7:59pm.

Don't tell her the price then, what she don't know can't hurt her

Thanks Clayton.
Steady progress, few more bits done... It never had a rear Anti roll bar fitted but decided to put one on anyway, Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Engine cleaned down and I know not everybody will like it but sprayed the whole engine silver, brightens up the engine bay and is a lot easier to find any leaks! Still got the sump to paint black though...

Thanks
We’ve also now decided to go for a full on camper conversion and today have ordered the Alu-Cab Icarus roof conversion and shadow awning. Picking both up at the end of August, lots more planning needing doing now! Need to sort, Power system - 12v, 240v + solar. Already bought a Redarc BCDC1240D charger. Water system - Hot and cold water if possible, gas or electric. Hot air heating. Planar, Webasto etc or cheap Chinese copy! Cupboards/layout in the rear. Etc, etc... 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |
