So i went to have a butchers at this place in Burton on Trent as its got a few Defender 90's floating around so thought I d give anyone whos thinking of looking looking the heads up on a brief overview
firstly this one
Land Rover Defender 2.5
Its had a new cross member at some point, chassis looks ok but needs a good clean, crap wheels but decent tyres and covered in nasty chequer plate
option 2:
Land Rover 90 DEFENDER 2.5TDi TDi SUV 4WD
yes its only done 90K but bulkheads rotted from the inside when you open the doors, rotten chassis completely where the outriggers join the body on the driver side as the two parts of the steel have separated through rust, tail pipe is rusting away transfer lever seized solid, plus side recent looking crossmember
option 3:
Land Rover Defender 2.5 3dr
best out of the 3 solid chassis with evidence of recent rear crossmember and has been waxoiled, no leaks that i could see underneath, lift kit fitted bulkhead looks ok, decent tyres and brakes look ok too, a few dings to the panels and rear door is starting to rot at the bottom osf wing was originally red from where a dent has taken off the paint,
sadly couldn't get inside as place was shutting up for the day.
there was also a white 90 Ninety in the corner but had no price in the window that looks ok but didn't get a decent look at it sadly
Hope this has helped someone
