I finally have a Defender!

ajctraveler · Nov 27, 2012

I finally got a Defender about a month ago!! Not sure if anybody remembers me getting screwed over by Land Rover Canterbury and asking for advice on which Defender I should go with. I ended up buying the one I had found on eBay, a 61 plate 110 USW with 9500 miles:

Getting stripped at Nene:

and fitted for a roll cage:

More updates to come in the next few days

Wow, nice defender, bet you're chuffed to bits.
How much were those headlights (if you dont mind me asking) and how effective are they?

..is it restricted?

you need to remove this to have any sort of control off road,the throttle is delayed.

Lots happening today. Decals are on, windows are getting tinted!

Platform is getting finalized

The seats aren't actually mounted yet.

Got my 90 from Nene a couple years ago and had her shipped to The Bahamas.
Great bunch of people there, very helpful and sold me a great vehicle.

Yes, that's me.

I found the Defender on eBay actually and took it to Nene to work on.

The wheels are getting done. No real rush though, get the tree bars on first. Wheels/tyres should be mounted tomorrow or Friday..

Possibly... but a very enjoyable way to get rid of it nonetheless
