New year = new project so I got a Defender 110 Tdi 300 later 1994.
I was unable to resist purchasing this Defy which was from a desease state with only 105.000 km on the clock.
On the tiop of that @ 30000 km due to a recall from LR the Defender was fitted with a new gearbob and transfer case..
Is going very nice and only have some corrosion spots on the bottom of the doors due to a reaction between the steel frame and the alum panels.
The first job was remove the Defender strips from the sides of the vehicle.
Next job is fitting the secon battery, fridge, spot lights, engine heat alarm, Mud centre console with volts, oil pressure, and the clock. On the place where is the clock I will fit a VDO tacho.
Now I just wonder if I am going to keep the Range Rover Hiline or sell it,
Here are some photos of the "clean canvas" to start having fun.
Cheers

I am very green with envy Arthur, you have a real gem there!! The trutrack will fit the front of that 110, and I can get you a detroit locker for the rear too. A Graeme Cooper swingaway wheel carrier to save the rear door and some maxidrive axles etc and you are SET!

Well done, good buy!!

Thanks Justin, I am very happy with it, the best LR after my old 109 stage 1 :)
Detroit locker would be a good idea ;)
If I can sell my trailer the locker will be on the list ;)

Thank you all, I just fitted the dual battery system and the Waeco CF50.
I placed an order for the new engine saver/Tm-2 combo and the Mud console.

We have visitors on our "Base Camp" I am attaching a photo of their rig and you guess who :D

Thanks Mark, regarding a trip down to Tasmania, I think it is time for Carlos to come up for a change.
If I do not sell the RR here I will send it to Hobart so Carlos can sell it down there.

That is a good idea, from the north coast of NSW to Bundy there are plenty to see, so start planning ;)

Carlos told me about it absolutely crazy asking price for a RR 1985 :eek:
