Another lamb to slaughter !

Afternoon all,
Hope everyone is well...

On saturday I will be finally part fo the LR family, I am picking up a Defender 90 pick up... one of the old ones pre 90's, its already been build with off road in mind/some towing and general larking around.

I have been after a defender for years and now I had enough money to buy one! (just) so progress will be slow but I am looking forward to the joys of ownership. I am quite handy with the tools so will be doing most if not all the work myself.

Photos will be avaiable at a later date, I have already purchased some or the start of the security journey (which I wont post on a public forum) but once I can afford i will be adding more the removeable wheel and giant orange ball is top of the xmas list as that seems better then a disclok which ive heardbad reviews on. I doubt mine will be sought after its not new its not pretty and boys in blue live next door haha.

So look forward to meeting over a brew or pestering the ones who know all, I am happy to help where i can.

Regards Tom.

Welcome petrol or diesel?

Welcome indeed. God loves tratterers, we've already been to hell
Hope you love your beast as much as I do mine..

beware of the old farts telling tales of whoa . Another thing welcome to the wet knee syndrome club.

It came from factory with 2.5na but has just had a 200tdi put in so I will no doubt have a few bugs to sort out!

Wet knee club??? @saxavordian

Welcome from another owner of an 80’s 90!

Howdi. You won’t have any nice clothes left. You’ll be forever rolling around underneath, even if you’re just nipping out to the shops. If you’re not, it must be an imposter

Welcome to the forum

Just remember, owning a Land Rover, makes it true even more, its about the journey not the destination. Only been stranded a few times.

Well that was a disappointing end to a memorable first day of landy ownership ! Check the new project thread for more details welcome to the club !
