Doesn't look too bad from any Angle, really think I got a bargain. Chassis, Bulkhead and 90% of the body panels are rock solid.

Thank you, give me some time and I'm hoping to make him look even better. Good thing about 110s is the 06 Plate Defenders look no different, so a little work and I could have him looking much newer.

Can be either, male or female - I just named mine on behalf of the date we collected it.

I'm not too keen on the stainless ones tbh, I think the matt black ones look way cooler (and I'm hoping someone will have a black set lying in the back of there garage after they did the stainless conversion ;))

Cheers,

He was wanting to go more, dad kept looking down and the speedo was approaching 60, reckon on a good go we'd get 75 at a lot of noise and distubance. Engines sweet as anything.

Little under £2000, bargain of the century in my books.

And matt, I tried adding your MSN but it says that it doesn't exist.

It's not completley perfect - Got 5 or 6 jobs that want doing (See Defender Section) but for the money I'm more than happy. the 19J, for all people saying they self destruct at over 100k miles manages to fire on the second turn of the engine EVERY time.

Thats the thing with Green oval, half of it is the luck of the draw. I know someone who payed £4k for a 110 Defender TDi, now he's having to spend an additional 2.5k to get the Chassis and fuel tank replaced. I spend under £2k and get a minter for a 17 year old.
