It is looking great! 👌 If you’d gone with bare galvanized capping on the bed and the rear, I’d say leave it without the spare tire to show it off. But since it’s painted and one uniform colour, it looks like something is missing to my eye. Were it mine, I would put the tire carrier back on.

Thanks! You make a good point about breaking up the panels now that they are painted

I would use hammerite on the gear stick and pedals. No masking or removing and it gives that nice finish after. They do different colours now as well. 👍

Nice idea! That's a job for this weekend sorted

@Animal250382 Ай бұрын

What about the new defender white wheels. That would look awesome. Or even standard steel wheels in white....

@oliverspalding5837 Ай бұрын

Wooden steering wheel for sure, and a silver mesh grill

@bernardgarrett3897 Ай бұрын

Wheel on Bonnet. NAS Rear steps.

@p.rondo7026 Ай бұрын

Looks great! I’d go no rear spare wheel carrier, and I’d keep the clear rear lights as well

You can use heatshrink on the gear lever to give it that fresh new look. Plus if it gets damaged it’s easy enough to cut the heat shrink off and fit another bit

Nice idea!

Go back with coloured lights and put the wheel carrier back on

@ScoutTheDefender Ай бұрын

Definitely keen to go back with coloured lights

I would definitely put the spare on a swing away rear carrier unless classic skinny wheels your ones will be too big for the bonnet . Other things I would do would be classic military style rear bumperettes , possibly painted silver ,with silver rear crossmember and silver painted front bumper . Classic land rover fold down rear and side steps. Series 3 door bottoms and sliding glass tops which you can then remove in the summer when you roll the canvass sides up, or take it off altogether. In addition you can fit old style 90/110 windscreen hinges so you can then fold the windscreen down onto the bonnet !. Classic polished wooden steering wheel too. A silver or mesh grill would then round off a properly retro truck look .

When tackling the dash: Obviously get vent surrounds. Consider a rev counter. Easy job for a td5, mostly wiring, as u need to tap into the ecu for a signal.

@chrisrundlett3707 Ай бұрын

My dash and binnacle are also messed up - missing fasteners and broken tabs. I recently saw a metal binnacle and binnacle mount from a company called Raptor Engineering that I thought would be a good option.

@ScoutTheDefender Ай бұрын

Yeah I’ve seen these too - look like a good solution to all the tabs being broken and cracked, I’ll have to look into it

The original colour lights would look great or smoked with the blue would look cool, definitely put the ORE wheel carrier back on, Standard straight front bumper is the way to go, coir matting I like that think about it in the back as well, the steering wheel is a little faded and would look good freshened up black but also a nice wood rimmed would look awesome. good luck with the rest of the build.

@vitessetube Ай бұрын

Looks great. I suggest bulkhead delete bar…… NAS read LED lights. Definitely refit ORE carrier. Standard bumper. Exmoor Trim bench seats. Keep window blocks original but repainted etc. standard steering wheel 👍👍

@ScoutTheDefender Ай бұрын

Thanks! Some great suggestions there!

@vitessetube Ай бұрын

@@ScoutTheDefender. As a re think, you could alternatively fit the spare wheel on the bonnet. That would be good too. I agree that the flat back end would look good. But Use NAS led. In my opinion. 😊

I can't see anything on their website but I would give LR Parts a ring for the dashboard fixings as I'm pretty sure they carry fixing kits for that sort of thing.

@brianhoskins1979 Ай бұрын

I would definitely want the mudguards. Would the old style Land Rover logo mud guards work for this build? I would also want a spare wheel. Firstly, I think the Land Rover looks better with the spare wheel on. But secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I think the spare wheel has genuine utility - especially on a Land Rover. You don't want to be on the side of the road just because you didn't put the spare wheel on. And everyone driving past making their usual assumptions about why you are "broken down". Nah, not having that. Not on my watch, anyway!

@rockystonewolf Ай бұрын

Spare wheel on the rear, weight on member. Anything else (on rear door or bonnet) will fail. Noooo! Do not body-color headlight surround, looks wrong. Good idea to paint mirror backings, use black color. Splash out on proper rust protection , Fluidfilm, wax oil or similar. You never aid what the intended use for the car: Long or short journeys? On- or offroad?? Kinda defines what mods you will be advised on. Consider: Wheels: Gearing, revs and noise. Noise proofing: Maybe not so valid for an open top. Get relays for the headlight current flowing not trough dashboard. Is it kept in a garage or not? Is theft a concern? If so, consider security upgrades. Bulkhead removal for better cabin space. Nice video and camera work, well done.

put the spare wheel on the bonnet! that would look sick

@georgemobbs4413 Ай бұрын

looking good i would put spare wheel on carrier if your putting steel wheels on choice is up to you all the best

@ScoutTheDefender Ай бұрын

Liking the idea of steels!

@WontBelieveX Ай бұрын

I would put the spare on the rear wheel carrier but as I understand it, the ORE wheel carrier for the full rear door doesn't work with the half door that you now how installed. Can you retro fit it to work or will you have to get a new ORE wheel carrier for the half door.?

@ScoutTheDefender Ай бұрын

I have had a look and spoken to the guys at ORE - I just need to change the plate that mounts to the door for one specifically designed for a half door

@jamessmiley8827 Ай бұрын

Good to know. I thought it was more complicated than that.
