I have had some time on my hands recently and have had the opportunity to give Kimba a bit of mid-life makeover with some inspiration from the 2007 Defender.

New surrounds, clear indicators and badging

Light bar and some Hellas

Started on some rear drawers (after years of contemplation)

Also upgraded the my headlights wiring which has resulted in a significant improvement.

My little helper!;)

Well Mr Scott,

I am well impressed with the works...the storage assembly has been one of my time filling thoughts as I wait for the rest of my Defender to arrive. I must pick your brains on that.

The rest of my family is less enamored with Defenders but melted at the sight of your little helper (name?).:D

I have also been playing around on the inside as well!

The Defender is white.

I was told last week that she will be arriving in Sydney on or about July 31.

Tilba is cute.
