The Easiest Defender 90 upgrade?
มุมมอง 2.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone, we really enjoyed installing our wheel arches from ddsmetal.co.uk We highly recommend checking them out if you need any bits for you defender!
WE WAITED 163 DAYS FOR THIS MOMENT
มุมมอง 2.2Kปีที่แล้ว
The Defender 90 is finally back home. In todays video we take the car out for a quick spin and identify some alarming issues that still need to be resolved. The defender now has an MOT after spending 5 months at the garage trying desperately to get through the emissions test... We didn't have the money to get the garage to dedicate a lot of time to the car hence the long wait but we couldn't be...

WE REPLACED OUR CHEAP DEFENDER 90 DOORS
มุมมอง 2.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone, In todays video we finally put the doors on the car! These are brand new doors and the top sections can be removed so that you can also roll around with only the bottom section. They were relatively easy to bolt on but we needed to push the windscreen back so that there were no panel gaps. This wasn’t immediately obvious to us so once again the Defender forums came to the rescue...
INSTALLING A NEW DEFENDER 90 WINDSCREEN!
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone, In today’s video we put the windscreen back on the Defender. We knew this was going to be a fiddly job and considering we’ve never done anything like it before we are very happy with the results. Using a thin rope is definitely the way to go, but we were perhaps a bit premature in pulling the rope before we had the windscreen in the right position, which then meant using a kitch...
Defender Door Disaster!
มุมมอง 2.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone! Today was a tough day on the car. Unfortunately the cold weather wreaked havoc on our freshly painted doors, and it’s likely they will need to be re done. In hindsight we should’ve taken more care keeping them somewhere warm, and we certainly won’t be making the same mistake again. On the bright side, the door hinges are installed, the seat box is in, and the windscreen surround...
Best Upgrade So Far?! Land Rover Defender 90 Restoration

Hello everyone, It’s great to be back uploading videos! Today we were finally able to unbox and install our new seat belt bar / cage. The kit looks great and was relatively easy to install (if we can do it you definitely can). We also started protecting the underside of the car which is a job we have been meaning to do for a while. Thank you all for your patience with the project and continued ...
Land Rover Defender Heritage Grill Install!
มุมมอง 4.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Wow this heritage grill for our defender 90 has really transformed the car! This kit cost less than £200 and in our opinion had had the biggest impact on the Land Rover defender.

The Land Rover Defender 90 project is coming along well! In this video we made some great progress on the 90. Let us know what you think of the paint job in the comments below! Whilst we had the roof off, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to convert to a soft top in time for summer so will will soon be installing a seatbelt/roll bar.

Scratching Our Brand New Paint!
มุมมอง 2.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Continuing on with our Defender 90 rebuild we fitted the wheel arches and wings back to the defender! The respray has been going well and the wings came out really well we think. Only being able to see each other on Saturdays makes us probably too eager to make progress and therefore as you can see mistakes have been made. The paint scratch is gutting when we think about how long it took to pai...

We also took off the wings so they are ready for paint. It took us so long to get them off, it seems like every bolt on that car has a vendetta. Thanks for watching!

Painting Our Defender 90 at Home!
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi everyone, In todays video we set up the compressor, applied some body filler and began painting the doors. This is a first for us, but overall we are very happy with how it went. We need to sand the doors with a high grit sandpaper (800-1200 grit) and then reapply the clear coat to make the doors a little more glossy. But all things considered, we are pretty happy. Once we’ve got the doors f...
Fuel Prices are INSANE

In today’s video, we head to a petrol station, to assess the state of the fuel crisis and start pointing fingers. We also begin sanding the Defender. The Respray project is an ambitious one, and perhaps one we are not fully prepared for. If you’ve ever painted a car before, please do leave some tips in the comments! Thanks for watching!

    Washing up liquid and a bit of water not WD40 boys. I did my screen in 20 minutes on my own - A national windscreen company changed it recently and it took them 4 separate visits and two screens! In the end I got a OEM screen - Pilkington plus OEM LR screen rubber and the regional manager to fit it. Apparently the fitters are so unused to screen rubber installs none of them know what they are doing. Heated and tinted BTW - result but took over two weeks to have fitted.

    Not such an issue on Aluminium (due to corrosion), but you should prime the metal prior to filling. Glossyness, even with 2-pack paint, comes down to temperature and humidity. You applied the clear at dusk, when the temperature would be dropping rapidly during the cure time and humidity would be increasing in proportion. High gloss clearcoat needs warm and dry conditions (ideally 20-25 degrees). If you want to base coat and clear coat in one day, you should start early(ish - base needs some temperature to flash off nicely) on a nice day and get the clear down mid afternoon at the latest. Or base one day, and clear the next.

    • @archieandbensadventures
