My Keswick Green XS USW Well I finally took delivery today... 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. 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: At the dealership: Click image to enlarge Little & large - next to my Mini!: Click image to enlarge I will try to keep this thread updated as and when the modifications begin. Cheers, Steve.

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

Copy, copy, copy..... Click image to enlarge Steve, seriously, looks great on your ""Heritage""  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw

Steve, thanks compliment. See you have a lot of plans for modifications, like most of us.... 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. Eric You never actually own a Defender.

Hi THF, assuming you mean the badge, details are in this thread: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic19252.html 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!
