As some of you may have seen in the defender section, I have rebuilt this over the last 6ish months. Bought from my parents farm in Oct last year looking like this
Which was mechanically sound, but tatty and tired with a leaking head gasket.
The chassis wasn't too bad, but it needed a new crossmember and rear section of chassis, and if I wanted to do expeditions in it I wanted to know everything had been looked at. So I bit the bullet, borrowed some money and rebuilt it.
£5000 later, we have this which I am pretty damn pleased with
Next are some expedition mods...
