Fitting the new parabolic springs was a great idea - I'd highly
recommend it to anyone with a series landie. I was a bit
disappointed with the speed at which they settled given the
amazing height gain I saw just after installation. The next job
you can see from here is a new tail-pipe for the exhaust!

After the Mille Riveres off-road trip in France
the Landie was in dire need of a scrub up, some new paint and a
few new bits and pieces...
|
|
|
Two days of scrubbing, painting polishing and
repair work - the Landie is once again turning heads.

|
After pulling off the Miller Riveres stickers, the paint came away
again, so it was time to sand it back, clean it up and re-paint
it. I used a model aircraft spray gun to apply colour matched
paint. I'm really happy with the result - although, you wouldn't
want to do the entire vehicle this way!

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo showing the huge dent and
scrape that the checker plate is covering. The damage occurred at
2 in the morning when we drove over a small bluff and caught the
corner section on a concrete ledge. Having done some basic
straightening with a hammer, I simply pop-riveted the
pre-fabricated checker plate into position. It's not any stronger
than the original, but it looks the business.

|
| Is
this the end?
Don't be crazy! I've now fitted a new bull bar, bumper bar and
tail-pipe assembly. Still waiting to be done is the addition of a
Defender heater/fan matrix which should do a much better job than
the little hamster running around in the heater fan at the moment.
But until I get pics of those last few jobs: have a look at
some pics of the landie out on various trails in the off-roading
section. |
