Not yet Ruari, it'll just be rubber mats in the back when I get round to it, possibly 2 seats as well but not in a hurry. Concentrating on the MOT which is Wednesday!

Yea but carpet dries out, helps omit the road noise to some extent and gives it that luxurious feel. Come for a ride in the 110 next time to see the difference  8)

Cheers Jon,

I'm afraid it failed, requires a rear wheel bearing and apparently there's an issue with the passenger seat frame. He's says its broken but I haven seen it yet!  :( :(

That doesn't sound too bad. Hope it's fixed quick.

I suppose it could've been worse. Just desperate to get it back on the road, hopefully tomorrow.

We have a road legal Defender.

Rear bearing replaced and one of the seat frame brackets that screws to the seat box had to be welded so all done and MOT'd.

Bring on Sunday!  ;D

It's a good feeling Jon,

Glad it's over to be honest, well apart from some painting but at least I can have some fun at the weekends instead of lying under it covered in oil lol

Good luck with yours!

I need lots of good luck. Once I find and fit an injection pump. I have the passenger footwell to weld. And two rear wheel bearing seals. That's it.
