My Keswick Green XS USW
Well I finally took delivery today... Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Well chuffed with it, but it's somewhat different to the old L322 Range Rover I part-exed for it! No more heated steering wheel. Crying or Very sad

Thought I'd start a thread to track progress of the modifications. Looking pretty standard at the moment, but I have a few plans involving a roof rack, roof tent, foxwing awning, fridge etc. It will be kitted out for a bit of camping - nothing too OTT.

Hoping to make it my interpretation of a 'Heritage' edition - wheels will be painted Limestone, Entreq 'Series look' headlamp panels fitted, proper galvanised mesh grille etc.

Anyway, apologies for the poor quality cameraphone pics but here she is:

Little & large - next to my Mini!:

I will try to keep this thread updated as and when the modifications begin.

Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks, glad you all approve! Very Happy

It's an XS in disguise - the dealer thought I was strange not wanting alloys or metallic paint given that they come as standard on an XS... Laughing

My first retro modification - nothing too impressive - just a proper badge on the back!

Bit scary drilling holes in the bodywork of a brand new vehicle, definitely a case of measure twice, drill once...

Steve, seriously, looks great on your ""Heritage"" Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Steve, thanks compliment.
See you have a lot of plans for modifications, like most of us.... Mr. Green
Any plans to Dinitrol her, and replace all nuts 'n bolts by SS? That would be my first plan with a beauty like you have there. Again, love the Keswick green with those white HD rims, very classic and as nice as it gets. Thumbs Up

Hi THF, assuming you mean the badge, details are in this thread:

Hi Eric, yes I have a box full of Dinitrol goodies ready to go on asap - hopefully this one's a keeper so need to look after it! Thumbs Up
