I did a full rebuild 18 months ago. Galvanised chassis from Marslands and then got carried away.......

About the tastiest rebuild I have seen. Just enough of everything, but nothing too much. The dash also looks great, again without any overkill. Well done
One question though... That's a heavy wheel on that poor back door, wouldn't hurt to install a spare wheel carrier to take the tension off that door, no? Could be done without hurting the good looks of this truck You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Nice to know others appreciate it too.
Adafish - it already has a VNT turbo from BAS. Lovely flat torque all the way through the revs. |
