Hi,
So I was in an accident. See this thread:
Accident - Defender Source
After a hard choice I am going to go with Dean at Independent in Bethesda to fix the damage. He gets strong recommendations on this page. Dean will also look over the entire truck, because it is a new vehicle to him. I think he is going to start next week.
--------------------------
Questions: While fixing the accident damage what else should I do. Here is what I am thinking already:
1) Paint the entire truck. Insurance will only paint half, and blend the adjacent panels. I do not think that will look good. I am an original owner, and after 21 years of sitting outside, I think the Defender might deserve a new paint job.
2) Add rock sliders - insurance is going to replace the sill on the driver side. Might be time to upgrade in this area.
3) Apply the Waxoyl product (assuming that my chassis is still in good shape). Dean is a certified installer. Since I have no plans to sell the truck - it seems like this might be a good investment.
--------------------------
So what are your thoughts?
