1987 defender wing

Scumball500 · Sep 8, 2024

I’ve got a 90 2.5l 1987 petrol defender and need a complete drivers side wing. Really struggling to find one. Found some for post 2000 defenders but wondering if they would fit? Thanks for any advice or even better if you have one for sale. It doesn’t have the side vent. Thanks

Be aware that later models had the air intake on the drivers side, so that will be incorrect for your year.

You can buy the individual parts that make up the wing assembly from paintman panels; not cheap but good quality.

Most second hand wings are full of filler!

Where are you based? There is a large auto jumble in Newbury next month, almost certain to find one there. The same auto jumble takes place in Malvern later in the month.

Technically there is no such thing as an 1987 Defender..... this may be your issue. The Defender didn't exist until 1990 with the introduction of the 200Tdi engine.

Before that there was a Ninety (not 90), One Ten and 127 models.

Not sure which part of the wing you are needing, inner, outer, side, front, top etc....

Would have thought there would be loads of used ones on eBay and the like or anyone breaking a vehicle.

On a more serious note how much of the wing do you need, and what is wrong with your current one? You can buy panels new, think the top and the side are both available, not sure if the front headlight panel is. as above form @300bhp/ton there are plenty on ebay (LINK) and I am sure there will be plenty on facebook as well.
What I will say however is the days of getting a cheap reasonable quality wing are long gone, price start at about £100. I bought a "farmers wing" for mine while rebuilding after the fire (melted so not salvageable), and straightened as best as I could but even that cost me £50 and it was in rough shape.

I remember the days of buying series 3 wings for £20!
