How original is your Defender.

mick the builder · Jan 22, 2012

I just occured to me that on my 88 110, the only original bit on it is probably the chassis.It has been rebuilt at least once from the ground up using second hand body parts and numerous engines.
Apart from consumables, at what age did you defender stop being original?/ how old is your original defender?

Got a '93 110. Original bits are:
Chassis (minus rear x member)
Engine main block
Rear Tub
Seatbox.

That's about it. Starting to turn into Triggers Broom!

1984 110. Other than a couple of engine upgrades - 19j and now 200tdi, - and replacement rear quarter chassis and 2 outriggers - it is as original and scabby as has been possible to keep it.

Well seeing as it is all rusty, I am guessing the only bit that has been replace on my C reg, 90 is the rear cross memeber as it was repalced so it would pass its last mot.

The rest is all supper rusty so its prob all origninal, poor thing needs a re build.

Pics, Super rust!

1990, 110 Defender 200tdi. All original except for the rear cross member which was fitted last year and I have just replaced the front axle for a heavy duty Salisbury one. The original one was bent on a trip to Morocco.
I have also replaced all the bushes for poly type ones.

I think only the numbers on the numberplate are original on mine.

Steering wheel and the numberplate on mine! Possibly the axles as well?!

It was a green pick up...

I believe that I'm the only original left ... The d90 looks like a circus these days ..

bluehaze · Jan 27, 2012

Wings, bonnet, some parts of the tub and roof.

It's rather like Caeser's sword: three new hilts, four new blades and two new scaboards. Apart from that it is going strong!!!!!

How original is your Defender.
