Picked up my 1995 110 today

[Defender=1st]

Gday everyone..some may remember that i rolled my Defender a few months back and well its got a new roof, window, window frame and is going strong as my daily driver.. the doors all took quiet a hammering when she went over and i have been trying to find some replacements for ages and i was lucky enough to come across a 110 Defender 1995 300tdi with a bent chassis..so the front guards were stuffed but the rest is straight as...i picked the whole vehicle up for $3500:D the motor runs perfectly(just before the chassis got bent it had a new head etc fitted) gearbox and transfer-case are surprisingly smooth and the rear diff has just been done up (new bearings axles and flanges etc)...i picked the vehicle up today so i thought i would post some pics...the 130 towed effortlessly..i have already lined up a bloke to take the rest as all i will be taking off it is the seat covers, exhaust brake, and swapping the wheels, doors and bonnet with mine.

Yer at ol mates at the moment..should be swapping doors etc next week, the previous owner's son was 4wding in it and went into a ditch at what iam quessing was considerable speed and it simply didnt come out..but the rest of the chassis is suprisingly stright and bar the guards and obviously the chassis nothing else bent.

Golly a spare Defender with overhauled engine would be a great thing to have.

What sort of nick is the steering wheel in? Mine is heat damaged between 10 and 2 o'clock (rough and bubbly, apparently) and while it is a trivial issue I find it strangely annoying. I've read threads on replacement steering wheels and I really like the OEM wheel.

I tried to buy something in GEN! BANANA for me!

Hey James, sorry but the steering wheel was it terrible condition...must have happened in the crash but its actually bent, sorry mate
