Personally, I would try and retain original appearance a bit more, but that looks like a tidy and thorough restoration job!
Yes, but then it would be another Land Rover the same as everyone elses.
I remember when I finished it and posted a few pics on my Facebook page, I was sent a number of messages from people who said that I should have discussed the build with enthusiasts who would have been happy to 'give me some tips and point me in the right direction'. As if I needed permission to build my own Defender.
But to be accurate, it isn't a Defender! It is a Ninety.
Or should that be peasant!
Lifelong pedant, me!
It isn't exactly pedantic. Just accurate. A Ford buff would point it out if you called a Mondeo a Sierra, although they are quite similar.
Hardly the same thing is it? Mondeo and Sierra are completely different cars. The 90 and the Defender are exactly the same, just called different names when the Disco came out.
So a more accurate analogy would be the Pajero / Montero / Shogun - All the same, just different badges. Pedantic....
Someone has to do it!
Nice shot with PA474 it's not often you can get onto the apron with it like that
That is a great outcome. Love the colour and I really like the bumper, which is what I would have bought, if I could have justified the extra cost.
I can't make out what you have done to the drivers side air intake. You also named your post "Puma updates", but I don't see any references or questions on the subject.
Really good posting, with fine pictures for those of us that can't read.
Yep, that's from when it used to be a Police 90 in Manchester and someone shot an air rifle pellet into the side of it just missing the bobby stood next to it. Can't take out those bits of history, they make great stories.All that and you still got a dent in the van side panel on the near side......................
Cheers
