What to do with my Td5 90 rebuild? Suggestions Welcome!
Hi Lads

Really at a loss as to what to do with my TD5 90, its surplus to everyday requirements, don't really want to sell it. I fancy doing a bit of a project on it, but don't know if I want to do a Retro heritage, a balls out off roader, or a faithful restoration of the current vehicle. Just had new 'recon' TD5 engine fitted from a 92 Disco, so mechanically sound, could probably do with a new chassis, so if I'm taking it back to that level I can start from ground up.

Any suggestions welcome, budget is @ 5-7k

Its a pretty rare vehicle in Ireland, as its a proper 7 seater private vehicle as opposed to a commercial. The only b**** is that the bloody road tax is €1080 per annum! If it were a commercial its would only be €150! So would quite like to keep the 7 seats.

Well galv chassis to start, there are a few doing heritage builds at the moment myself included however I'm doing some future proofing too, I was going to do a back to standard build but that disappeared very quickly once I got stripping down the wagon.

Do a few ideas on some paper of what you like and dislike about the defender then take the dislike list and how you can rectify the problems. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

I'm guessing you meant a 2002 Disco engine and not a 1992 disco engine?

Because if it was a 92 disco engine it is definitely not a Td5 engine!

Cool Looking project though!

If it is a rare one in Ireland as you say I would use the money to just do some subtle upgrades, preventative maintenance and some soundproofing and keep it as an investment Thumbs Up Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Really off topic but does the bowler have internal roll bars as well as the windscreen surround one? And if so do you have any pics? Embarassed as for the 90, with it being rare I'd just spend the money on making it absolutely perfect and standard Thumbs Up Ray

Hi Ray

No just the windscreen protector which has no safety value whatsoever, i suspect.

Inside is pretty standard apart from the single loadspace seat and the dynamat, and the Recaros!

That's exactly what I want too or maybe the outside bar and just the second row (centre section) safety devices inner cage which goes behind the front row seats then above and behind the second row seats, but I want to see more pics of the setup before I buy. Ray
