So been on with the land rover again today, we didn't manage to get a real lot done today though because of how much hard work everything sempt to be :mad: however I got plenty of pictures none the less! ;) So decided we would try and tackle the axles to see where we could get, figured that...

not in a major rush no, will depend on how much you can do me them for as currently bidding on a pair on flea bay

Something I never got a picture of and forgot to mention was that when I was removing the radius arms, and trailing arms for that matter, they were both ridiculous hard to get off, had to use the 1" drive air gun on them, this resulted in completely stripping the threads on one of the radius...

Haha i'll make sure to add plenty of pictures! I know too well reading a thread without pictures can soon become a choor, much more pleasurable being able to see the rebuilds happening! :) as for the chassis I will be more than likely going with marslands chassis, not much in the reasoning for...

Ahh I never actually thought about that! thanks for the advice!

Welcome to the build thread of my 1998 Defender 90 300tdi pick up restoration, so when the vehicle was bought it looked all perfect and straight from the outside, but we knew there was going to be a mess underneath with the vehicle being 'off farm' condition, the strip down of the vehicle proved...

Yeah I've had a look at yrm's stuff before, hoping to be able to make repair panels myself though

Sorry new to the forum, pictures have come up absolutely huge on my computer screen, have they done this to other people aswell? if so how do I reduce the size of them on here?

As aaron said they are ridiculous money, the bulkhead isn't too bad to repair but it needs taking out all together so I might aswell get it galved at the same time

Cheers for the link found it very helpful!

Right so on the weekend I began to strip down my 1998 defender 90 pickup to inspect the seat box, foot wells and bulk head for corrosion, and for a 68,000 mile defender there was a hell of a lot! shouldn't be surprised really though, its spent its entire life with one owner used on a farm. the...

Just found these thanks!

Hi there, Im Richard, New to owning a defender and to the LandyZone forum! A couple of months ago I bought my first defender, it is an S-reg with 68,000 miles and is pretty tidy if I do say so my self :) As you can see from my profile picture the first modification I did was to get some...

Hi there, I am currently wanting to convert my truck cab defender 90 to a hard top. When searching on sites to find the parts there doesn't seem to be many, I've come here to see if anyone has a hard top defender that they themselves want to convert to a truck cab, I'm not fussy about colour but...
