Not just one Defender Camper but four! (Lil is the second from the Right.) Many more photographs to come..

On my to do list was the the sound insulation, so that was my next job. The problem is the temperature was so cold that l had to get the heat gun to warm up the insulation. I left two areas clear on the floor, this is where l will place the two new seat striker plates. Next l removed the...

Making tape was placed around the window as a mask for the silicone, this oozes out once the bolts are tightened up. Finished window!

Just fitted the Gullwing window, it wasn’t too bad to fit, but l had to make sure that the position was inline with the window trim. I Purchased the glass version in the end because l want to drop the level of the units, more light and l think it looks better. Removed the internal window trim...

Also fitted a rear view camera to the jet wash, the car is so long and thought it was only a matter of time before l dented it, and adding a camera is cheaper!

First thing on my to do list was to change the standard wing grilles to stainless steel ones, they now match my front grille, so shouldn’t rust. I also added a rear swing away with a 2nd hand wheel and tyre, and a new Defender badge and the very important Union Jack. One issue l found with...

I managed to collect the Lil a few weeks ago, an enjoyable 180 mile round trip. It drives well and l was impressed as to how how quickly the inside warms up compared to my old TD5 90, and it wasn’t too noisy. I drove it back in the rain, and it has felt like it has rained everyday since, or it...

Should be okay for weight, most of the units will be Aluminium, hopefully;) Photo attached of a Gullwing, with table.

Where would l find the info?

:) Thanks, one side mounted roof l have seen, you can decide on the bellow colour. They do a sandy colour which would then match the retro styling and look good against the white roof. Two options for the Gullwing: l hope maybe to bring the level of the inside units above window, so it allows...

Okay thanks, much appreciated. Most of the items l will probably get off Fleebay and Plumtree anyway.;):)

First photo update... My philosophy and direction on this Campervan project will be guided firstly by design, then quality, product material, then price, the reason being is l am a fussy old ******. My other Defender vehicles l have owned have mostly been led by cost, they have looked okay, but...

Is it frowned upon if l was to mention company and product names on the forum linked to my project?

And some gaffer tape! ;)

No my dog was called Lucy and she is sitting in the back of my first Land Rover 90 TD. Many years ago;) l am a have ago mechanic, with basic tools.:)

I collect my my new defender called Lil in just under two weeks from a garage, a dented Keswick green 110 USW base model. My plan is to give it a smart modern retro feel on the outside and a modern clean look on the inside. I will try and keep the 5 seats, but it will have a pop up roof and...

Thank you. Yes but l will probably bore everyone rigid with my updates, but hopefully it will be interesting. I will start a thread on the new projects in a couple of days with a few before pictures.

No l had to add that bit about my 90, my wife was looking over my shoulder.;)

Hi everyone, I want to introduce myself. I currently own a Defender TD5, which unfortunately l now have to sell, but only so that l can fund my next project a new 110 utility Landy called Lil. It has a basic trim level, but hoping to give it a smart retro look and feel. My end goal is to have a...
