My 99 TD5 Defender.

a quick run down.

She came complete with a seized motor, rusty Door frames and a Rusty fire wall Lucky the Chassis was galvanised.
The motor seized when the previous owner decided it would a good idea to drive with no water; the water was lost out of the bleed/drain screw on the lower radiator hose.
When we met:

Tim, what about the other one in that pic?

Tim, what about the other one in that pic?

That looks like the one which was built by THE_109 on here. A hybrid of a SIIA ex-army and a Stage 1 V8 - which was later converted to a trayback, then to coils, and it may even be supercharged??? Not a defender - but certainly "tough"

I first saw it out at Black Duck / Gatton when it was first built - he broke a CV the first day out :D :(

I heard rumours that some guy called Bush65 was building one of the toughest (road legal) Defender (chassied) utes in Australia... ;)

Here is a pic of our build - mocked up in Yellow and Black - will be called "Bumblebee"

Motor going in this month and hope to be on road mid year. Will have 3.5 Rover supercharged with ZF auto, lower transfer gears, Nissan GU diffs (at this stage - keeping stage one diffs as possible alternate), lockers, 35" tyres.
Cab will be a little deeper than normal for seat room and gear.

thanks for that pic slunnie.

That has got me thinking.

I am 6 foot 6 in the old book and not that delicately built :angel: and I am thinking it will be a tight fit into a single cab defender.

What if I cut down a 110 wagon. Would it be possible to cut the roof back at the C pillar and close it in there and create a sort of wellback body :confused:

this would give me heaps of legroom and storage in the back.

what do you think

[Outlaw]

Something like this :)

I heard rumours that some guy called Bush65 was building one of the toughest (road legal) Defender (chassied) utes in Australia... ;)
It is a b&stard child, no defender/110 parts except chassis. Some rangie and jap bits. Rego should say Land Rover 110 (as determined by chassis), but none here would concur.

Don't forget the engine...

In my view it will be a 110 they way they should have been built to start with!

[2_door]

yes Outlaw thats exactly what I was on about. Did you do the body chop yourself, was there much in it and are there any pics of the job on here???

cheers

you know the :rulez: we need pics :angel::twisted::angel:

[long stroke]

Tim, what about the other one in that pic?

Yep that trick machine was built by THE 109, as has been said it's a series
2A 109 supercharged 3.5ltr rov v8 converted to coils with an awesome high speed winch:cool:

CHEERS TIM.

[Bush65]

Don't forget the engine...
That does qualify as tough.

But again not defender, although big pity not the way they were built.

[THE 109]

Tim,

The V8 is close to going to its new home now.

Cheers Eric

[long stroke]

Awesome!!
Can't wait to see it in action with the new heart:cool:!!!!!

CHEERS TIM.

[isuzurover]

But again not defender, although big pity not the way they were built.

Well the engine was fitted to 110s (NA) and 1xx 6x6s, and since most people can't tell the difference beween a One-Ten and a defender, that is close enough... ;)

That was built for a fellow and was posted up on Outerlimits4x4 a while ago. Thats at it's highest ride height, and I think they set it down lower when it was finished.
