the story so far,
I've just spent several thousand pounds, from my savings by the way, to transform my defender into something timeless. Gluttony may well have been a factor, but it's for the best I know. |

The parts are on the way to Kuwait from the UK. I should receive them end of this week. Then we'll be in the shop for 2 days (fitting and tuning). I've been unusually patient with this. Please bare with me. A fortnight, give or take a couple of days, and the transformation should be complete.

Give us a taster:-
A list of the items on your shopping list will suffice in the interim! 
If it appeases your conscience "It is definately for the best!"  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

The List:
- Stage Two Tune Kit (Gas flowed intercooler and ITG air-filter) - S.S. Exhaust system including Decat - Samco XDB Silicone Hoses - Propane Kit - EGR Blanking (maybe...not comfortable with this mod yet due to the ambiguity surrounding the subject) - 35mm Lowered performance suspension system: Full conversion. Springs, Dampers, and anti-roll bars - 18" black Silverline wheels - Toyo Proxess S/T high speed rated tyres - Remap: Local tuner  [/list][/list] |

Could also possibly get away with EGR Valve blanking with the increased airflow your engine will experience at minimal cost too! Not sure how ambient heat may effect it where you are!
Nice list! If your local tuner's got a dyno with your photos post some figures too! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
