My TD5 90

Hi

Im fairly new on here but been lurking about for a while reading alot of threads and i thought i would share what im doing with my TD5

i bought it in the middle of october as a sorry looking truck cab pick up with an ifor back one it, it had spent a few year on a dairy farm and got a few battle scars but its only got 53k on it and was a good price so i thought i would try and bring her back to life.......

so far i have swapped a few things about but this is my first defender and im trying to get the right things that should be on a 2003 model so theres a few bits that arnt stopping like the temp rear door and headlight surrounds but its hard to get good late panels at the right money but ill do my best as im on a budget.....

do a search for favourite colours on this site to have a look at willow green (the best) and woodcote green (almondeggs' defender)

I'm always going to be biased with woodcoat green, very rare defender colour.
