Well, I've been waiting for quite a while to put this up. Guess I found the time now.
Here goes
This is a timeline on how my Land Rover Defender 90 came into being well; for the second time actually..
Unfortunately due to various reasons had to part with it eventually..
Hope this'll be helpful to the 4x4 guys..
Started off in 2006, from a dude who purchased her from the police auction
This is what she was
Actual Military Spec Land Rover 90 (ex-STF )
Dude had tried to crudely restore it in a 4x4 joint, they've practically ripped him out..
Chassis was in pretty good shape though it needed a lotta work as you can see.. Had only surface rust.
Took the entire old body and bits away...
Here goes the chassis after full restoration with a new rear cross member ( actually the old one was in horrid shape)
Well after the chassis was done the new suspension and drivetrain was mounted.. At that time decided to go with a 2.5 N/a (12J) engine due to effect of the overall cost, but it was also new with very few miles on the clock.
Also with new bulkhead and LT77(S) gearbox (new)
