Thumbs up Ideas for your Expedition Defender

Doing research about ideas and products for converting the "Out of the Box" Defender into an expedition vehicle I managed to collect some information or sites in the web that I would like to share with you all.
Perhaps would be a good idea if all of us start adding sites, photos or our own project so we all benefit for the pool of knowledge in the forum.

So here is my contribution

First even if we all know him we have to start with Danie's SITE AKA Mulgo

Ex-Tec a German site with excellent info and manufacturers of high quality products. SITE

Safari Centre, another european site with heaps of info, photos and products.
SITE

Carmaeleon the german site is HERE

Custom Campers the site is HERE

Exmoor Trim great seats for the defe and replacement covers SITE

Post your contributions and your project links

I forgot TeriAnn's page with her 1960 LR Dormobile. It is a fantastic reading and lots of info.
Great place for those with a series landy looking to convert it to an expedition vehicle.

My (work in progress) version of a 130 expedition vehicle!

I am in the process (stating the bleeding obvious) of building my 130 based pop top (not attached) camper that I hope will take the boss and I RTW starting in South America next year.
The camper shell is made of fibreglass skinned balsa and the internal cupboards etc from fibreglass foam core composite materials. All nice and light but labour intensive to work with.
Is anyone doing anything similar?
I have attached a pic.
If any interest out there can try to provide more info.
