Some years back I had a set reproduced in 1mm steel, think they were plasma cut anyway the results are next level for defender. We mucked about for ages getting the art correct well my mate PACMAN on ukvac did most of the computer work, I then took the file to a metal shop with a CNC machine...

I got another defender to restore anyone got a NOS joystick or a rebuild kit they dont need at the moment ? id order from arcadeshop but not sending outside the US and im uk based Cheers J

Thank you guys !! I love a good resto thread and though id post this to give a bit back and to inspire. Unfortunately i don't have the cab anymore, i access to the stencils but no files and so ill be on the look out for another to breath some life into in the near future. BH

Thanks guys ! I enjoyed posting it as it was a while ago that i did it. Plexi should well but just be careful that it has enough of its own weight to stay on the cab and that its not to thick to distort the paint before it hits the black. Good Luck and post it up BH

Replaced the vents that were missing with the original speaker grill as is was damaged in places , exact match as the pattern was still left on the wood.

Back on to the internals !. I mounted the K7000 monitor in the original frame, capped and fitted a new lost (Thanks to Finny for the frame and Chad Gray for the spare board set) Replaced every harness connector with new molex and soldered new pins. Reflowed all the headers and converted to...

Evening AJ :) Thanks for the kind words !

I forgot to take some of the yellow stencils but just wanted to get it on. Went over well, think I ended up giving it 3 coats to get it where I wanted. Looking pretty decent at this stage

On with the red !and its starting to come together. Little action shot and the last one shows the soft lines before a polish and clean up.

For me they are to perfect the lines are to good when you peel them back, don't get me wrong they do a great job, but i just wanted it as close to factory as possible which is soft lines and some over spray. I think in the factory they didn't give a toss banged the stencils on and fired the...

Stencils clamped in place, they needed to be tight but not so tight the lines were to harsh. Also on the yellow i was able to slightly lift areas to replicate the over spray. Id had a bit of practice by this time but still a bit worried id be sanding it all off again if i messed it up.

No i had an engineering company cut them on a CNC plasma cutter, not cheap from memory they were about £300.00 BH
