Daisy III
Hello all!

Have recently picked up my 3rd defender, which I’m planning on being a very long term keeper for family trips / camping etc.

It all started with Daisy I, a 110 CSW TD5, which turns out was used by the Spanish LR Experience team.

Daisy II was a bit of a hodge podge of parts. A galv chassis, late TD5 body, but most importantly the 3.9 V8, which made a great noise.

Now to Daisy III, a 2010 XS USW

Plans? Make it the “perfect” landy! Long term id like to rebuild it on a galv chassis, but short term it will be a rolling resto.

- all round soundproofing
- LOF clutch bits
- Ashcroft (or LOF) drive shaft
- Optimill shiny bits
- Solid half shafts
- NAS rear step
- roof rack & tent (maybe trailer)
- work & spot lights
- stereo upgrades
- wheel carrier
- storage racking / drawers in the rear

Started the sound proofing journey this week. 2mm silent coat + 6mm generic closed cell foam off eBay. I also ran some 4mm2 multicore to the rear left panel that will eventually be connected up to the battery, plus a 1mm2 for ignition/cut off switching. I also ran some extra speaker wire in case I add speakers to the top corners.

Found the closed cell foam extremely faffy, so wasn’t the best job. Conveniently it’s all covered by the headlining and some new Mud Stuff side panels. Annoyingly I had to trim ~5mm from the standard side panels in order to accommodate the silent coat + foam + mud stuff panels.

I also replaced the fir tree securing rubbish with M6 aluminium rivnuts.

Only the rear door and load bay sides and roof completed so far, I’m resisting from driving it until it’s all done so I’m not (too) disappointed with the sound improvement.

On to the rest of the car!
