Well I managed to get into it again today – thankfully the weather held out. Although we could still do with some more rain to be honest.<\/p>\n

The first part was stripping back the basic coverings that were used from the factory. A little bit of vinyl (?) and that’s about it. It’s held in place by some sort of substance – glue I’m guessing?<\/p>\n

Anyway to remove the substance is a pain in the bum, as it’s everywhere. I found that the steel scraper worked well, as long as you could sharpen it on the stone regularly – hence why it’s in the photo below! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

From there it was a half decent wash out with the degreaser and hose – it came up pretty good actually. It was also amazing how much mud and crap was on top of the chassis rails etc – it’s clean now!<\/p>\n

Then it was time to lay down the first layer. In this case I am using the ‘bitumen’ paint that I still had laying around from doing the inside of the guards a few months back. It’s primarily used for sound insulation underneath the body of the car – also has sealing properties for use in sand, mud etc according to the container.<\/p>\n

Overall it is sticky crap but it doesn’t really matter in a Defender.<\/p>\n

Last and not least I took the floor out of the back area where the kiddies sit. It served two purposes – 1. It enabled me to clean up the chassis rails\/transfer case etc; and 2. I can paint it out of the car and then seal it properly with sealant when I put it back in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next plan is to put the floor back together and start laying the form shield down with contact glue……<\/p>\n

Cheers
