Over the years previous owners have drilled holes in the body of the defender to allow for their various cables and mountings. These now unused holes allow water into the cabin, which isn't ideal. Today I will seal the holes within the load area.
The holes will be sealed with cut aluminum squares riveted to the body panel with lots of seam sealant between the two and all over the out side of the rivets and hole.
Not the prettiest finish, but the load area will be fully covered in checker plate when its complete. This should keep the water and mud out of the rear load space!
Follow me and my Defender on a journey of improvement. I will (hopefully) improve my mechanical skills and knowledge, while the Defender will be dragged into the 21st century with new parts, refurbishment of existing and off road based improvements. So please enjoy what will be a long (and expensive) journey..........
