Oh damn...I think I totally misinterpreted those pictures. This is just the the thing to hold the roof and not the actual a-pillar.
OK, my mistake I think it would pass the test here then as well. *I'll crawl back under my rock now...*

haha, yeah it's just the roof bar thing that's rusted up, the dealer would only have known if he'd have taken the roof down. Since I posted them pics I cleaned it all up, cut off the worst of it and Hammerite'd it all Still looking for a replacement. Rest of it seems sound, just some slight surface rust under the arches and stuff but nothing to worry about.

On the subject of Defenders, they'd always be my first choice of 4x4 (with the exception of a UAZ-469 but they're rare as hen's teeth to buy) but I just couldn't afford one Jim, the guy I went greenlaning with has a '91 D90 which has been on axle stands for the last 2 years as the chassis has all rusted out lol

I recommend a Land Rover, here's my Wolf FFR in 2001 after rolling three times.

Sadly not, it went on a DROPS pallet and was displayed at the theatre reception point as a warning to theatre newcomers - our boss hastily visiting it to redact out unit's ID marks - eventually flown back to the UK and repaired but don't know if it came back to our unit.
Seatbelt and rollbar saved my life. Best bit was the Army doctor who eventually looked us over recommended going to the bar and having a couple of cans 'to ease any tension in the muscles'.

moar pics!!! had another good day 'laning with my mate Jim, took my DSLR so I got some decent pics this time! Still haven't managed to get the bumper off but did get the recovery bar on yesterday
Shoop! The "Go Anywhere" light took us like 6 trips to work up the courage to go through that, when we finally did it was just a shallow puddle lol, very anticlimactic
