Luckily the bloke who sold me the bulkhead threw in the wiper motor as well. I wondered why at the time but I wasn't about to turn away free stuff! I've found this guide to modifying the bulkhead which will be pretty useful. https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/38064-galvanised-bulkhead-pointers/. I...

At least there was some reason behind the madness then! It might have been nice if they'd patched it up again afterwards though.

I've heard it is possible. They're essentially the same, and as far as I can see it's mainly a case of cutting a different shape for the gearbox tunnel and tapping a few holes for the older dashboard. We'll see how it goes!

My initial optimism may have got the better of me! It's taken me two evenings to get the floor panels and seatbox out. Almost all of the floor screws were rusted and had to have a slot ground in each one with a Dremel before using an impact driver, and the captive nuts for the four bolts holding...

This is the beginning of my journey rebuilding my old Defender 90. I bought her in 2004 and ran her until 2009 when big rusty holes appeared in the chassis and bulkhead and I hadn't the time or funds to do anything about it. Luckily my parents had a barn with a Land Rover sized space in it and...

What about one of those combined DAB/FM roof mount shark fin things? It'd fit in with the whole black thing you've got going on there. I'm thinking of fitting one myself once I get to that point of the rebuild. Someone else is doing it here too: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic34762.html

Thanks everyone. I just need to stop planning and actually make a start now. The family are understanding, even encouraging, at the moment. Not sure that's going to last though!

I mean a chassis-up rebuild and repaint. Hopefully not too much work on the engine. It was running alright before I abandoned it ten years ago, but I'm sure it'll need a bit of an overhaul. If there's any issue with the gearbox I'm not sure I'd attempt that myself. Again, that was fine when I...

I'm going to be doing a full rebuild of my K-reg Defender 90 over the next year or so. Does anyone who's been through this before have any recommendations about what stuff I will need to get before I start. From the smallest, e.g. little bags for bolts, to the largest, like engine stands/tools...

Hi all, I'm making a long overdue return to the world of Land Rovers after having parked my Defender 90 in a barn in 2009 after a few too many holes appeared in it. After what was intended to be a short break but turned into a decade after two children put a stop to any thought of restoration...
