Awesome! Good luck on the restoration!

Use an online image hosting site for your images. I doubt the AutoLanka attachment space will be sufficient for all the photos you're hoping to share. My suggestion would be to use imageshack.us.

Always wanted to see a Defender restoration, tell us more! Davy's suggestion is excellent; register with Imageshack or Photobucket and upload them there.

the winshield and grill on the table look to be from a series 2 or 3 land rover.. Are you doing a conversion?

hmmm may be a normal Defender/110 bulkhead as all bar the latest generation & the factory fitted A/C Export spec. ones came with the open able set of vents

I was referring to the glass and the grill in picture 3 (with the brown chassis)

Hi guys

Thank you for all your inputs. For sure, I will talk about the full restoration as we go by.

This is a 1996 300tdi chassis. The end product is an defender Tdci/puma .was lucky enough to find a almost brand new Tdci 2.4 engine and a box. And the rest of the body panels are off a defender puma 110 CSW. To keep the quality, I have used Genuine land rover Nut and BOlts.

Will use IMageshack to upload more photos.

The windscreen on the table is from a series 2 which belongs to my mate UPul.

Little piece of advise make sure the engine is not a 2007 model, they had some issues because of which many were replaced through warranty.

Both Engine mounts and gearbox mounts bracket locations were marked and aligned and tagged in to the chassis. Meantime, all the body panel were getting ready for its new look.

Front and Rear diff and axels were fitted along with radius arms,shocks and all the mechanical parts such as steering box fuel pipes,brake pipes etc.. Bulkhead was to come first since we wanted to start the engine.Since all parts were from the same vehicle I was confident that it will start with few turns. Ecu, meter panel,Body module,transponder and its original key with FOB were given with the bulkhead.

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Heard that sweet running noise of a defender puma TDCI.

Click on the photo upload icon on the post editor, and paste the URL given in the "direct box" on image shack there. Then the photos load directly onto your post. It's easier to read and we don't have to be shifting from one page to aother to see them. :)

Some pics of the restoration work of our land rover....

Year of manufacture: 1987

It's brilliant to see someone retaining the original 110 decals for a change :)
