Evening all,
After a day on the land rover experience in honiton about 4 years ago I decided that i would be getting myself a land rover.
But work commitments put the stoppers on that for a while, eventually my good lady wife agreed to let me have a project and use the back garden as a work space, so I went out a bought a 1987 90 defender back in November
So I thought I would start a thread mapping progress
I have very little mechanical knowledge and had only done gas welding until I started on the landy , but my uncle has agreed to help teach me about engines, i am learning pretty quickly but would appreciate anyone pointing out my cock ups
This is what it looked like when i picked it up, It's a little rusty on the outriggers and the bulkhead and the doors are pretty fooked but the chassis is sound(ish)
Why did no one tell me that land rivers are highly addictive
