Backdated

Hi,
I just bought a very nice 1989 soft top
Petrol version - original 89,000miles 4 owners
Chassis and bulk head have been replaced with galvanised ones so no Rust coming anytime soon.

I'm planning in the next few weeeeeks to go for a classic look but with a twist
Initial photos are as I bought the Defender and more pictures to come as I start this process.

Galv bumper looks a lot better than the bling version.

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

Mondial that's a nice looking starting point. Whats the story with the lightweight trying to get in on the action? 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

No involvement with the lightweight, just a friendly neighbour

Totally agree.
The black bumper was sold with the remote control for the winch to an happy man!

Modest update this week whilst I'm waiting for the Rostyle wheels, new grills bolt in on top of the fenders. It breath better apparently!
