    Seats are out of an older defender if I recall. Only issue I run into is that the head rest hits the back of the short top before the back of the seat....thus causing the seat to lean a bit forward...but with the regular full top, no issues.

      I like those flares...

      I have kinda a project going on myself with my 109 5 door wheelwells

      My bottom extra wide sills seem to be about 1.5 inch to long on the rear wheelwell- not sure why that is- maybe the sills are not for a series and instead a defender? they came as parts with the truck

      Anyways I am debating to either not put them on or may add a flare which would cover up the overhang in the wheel well-

      Any info and any advice from anyone is welcome
      My flares were a bit long in the rear but I mocked them up several times. I'd start by getting the fender all setup to where i wanted it, drilling a hole in the top of the flare/fender and bolting that one bolt up..just so it would stay on....then I'd squeeze the flare onto the fender pushing/prying to get it to fit just right/snug. Then I marked drill holes for the rest of the mounting bolts.

      I definitly took my time, bolting up one or two bolts, lining the flare up and marking for new holes. I probably bolted and unbolted the fender a good 5 or so times before doing the final drills. I didn't drill all the holes at once. If you do that, you'll discover that it will end up being off line, so you have to compensate for the adjustments doing one or two holes at a time.

We're going to camp out there and get some awesome footage of us taking our Rover's off road, right now we have a P38 Range Rover, 02 Disco "Westminster" a 96 Disco 1, possibly a new L322 Range and we would love a classic!!!! If you're interested let me know. We have a film producer shooting the film!!
        Wow that sounds awesome. I wish I could. I currently am doing some work on the rover...putting in new seals (pumpkins, rear main, etc) as well as reworking my fuel lines and fabricating some mud shields for the front fender wells.

        When is the off-roading adventure going to take place?

          It's going to happen during the week of the 21st-27th. We are going to pick a day in the middle of the week so that we don't have any issues with the trails being crowded! If you can come that would be awesome!!
