Looks nice! There is always something to find, though to add from the photos it looks like the front windows are tinted too dark to be legal, worth checking before being pulled! Instagram @defender_ventures

Also not illegal or anything, but evidence of being not all that original is the bonnet hump on what looks to be a Td5. I find that the best cars are the totally original ones. People can spend a fortune on upgrades, but makes the car not always better, in fact often it does not.
Also I would budget for a new radiator. |

Yeah I'm not fussed on the puma bonnet hump, may get changed and yes new radiator and allisport intercooler going in along with new silicone hoses.
The dark front windows were the first thing to go couldn't see f*ck all at night, quite dangerous so not surprised they are illegal. Hopefully be a good truck once I'm done, least I will not its right, lots of short cuts in evidence........ 23my p400e x dynamic hse, fuji white, towing pack, comfort and convenience, e diff, activity key, 3 zone climate, cold climate and a host of accessories.

Lucky escape mate, totally my own fault should have been much more thorough and yeah it was the original stripped and galvanised. It will hopefully be a good truck once its done and I will know it inside out. Luckily punting my defender l663 for a profit is funding all this extra work. 23my p400e x dynamic hse, fuji white, towing pack, comfort and convenience, e diff, activity key, 3 zone climate, cold climate and a host of accessories.

 I am sure it will be fine eventually. If you get stuck with anything on the bulkhead give me a shout, I have fitted around 250 bulkheads (and over 600 chassis) in the last 15 years and we have just started producing our own bulkheads. I have still got your car saved on my watch list on ebay  . I ended up buying a 96k mile 2010 puma station wagon last week instead (but even that wasn't without its faults  )
Just beware on the chassis if its an original that has been galved. For some reason when second hand chassis are galved they rot badly (I have changed several now that were original chassis that had been dipped and rotted out within a couple of years) Must be something to do with old metal being galved as well as being impossible to clean out properly internally Not trying to scare you but galved used chassis should be considered the same as painted and treated internally and externally with a preservative of some sort Paul  2000 90 TD5,galv chassis, d2 axles ,Bas remap , alisport intercooler , d2 transfer box , side windows-more to come-much more!! *GONE*

Nice one, you will be fine. Unfortunately with bulkheads its a case of the last bit off is the first bit on. I usually order these new parts when doing bulkhead swaps-
wiper boxes/cable Windscreen to bulkhead seal Vent seals Front hinge bolts and captive nuts Lower bulkhead to strainer sill bolt plates Plastic square screw inserts x20 Floorboard screws and captives Gaskets for screen to bulkhead hinge blocks Some self adhesive gasket tape for trans tunnel and floor plates Non are particularly expensive but can slow you down if you don't have them when you need them Like I said, if you get stuck give me a shout 2000 90 TD5,galv chassis, d2 axles ,Bas remap , alisport intercooler , d2 transfer box , side windows-more to come-much more!! *GONE*

before you paint it i would test fit it. that way if it doesn't make you happy and or fit 100% you can return it.
lots of places won't take a faulty one back if you paint it. what was wrong with the 1st bulkhead you bought? |

Yeah will have a test fit first. I was let down on delivery and after a bit more research their seemed lots of issues and l took cold feet and was able to cancel before it was despatched. Sales side was very efficient but went downhill rapidly after this.
Ultra were recommended by two companies that do defender renovations so will see what turns up. 23my p400e x dynamic hse, fuji white, towing pack, comfort and convenience, e diff, activity key, 3 zone climate, cold climate and a host of accessories. Now gone. |

Work been a bit manic but finally making a bit of progress, bulkhead painted and fitted. Overall not been too bad so far. Taken a fair bit of work to get things to fit, alot of the holes didn't seem to be quite big enough and there was alot to sort surface wise before it got painted. First chap made a complete a*se of it so ended up going elsewhere and they made a far better job.
Taken time to replace lots of bits whilst apart and access was easy. Hopefully be a good but more progress this next few weeks.
