Well its been nearly 4 years since I sold my 86 Defender 90, 3.9 inj v8 with mad 10 x15 chromes running M.T. Bajas , nutty but great fun.
The longing never goes and I have come to my senses [SORT OF] and gone back to my rootes.
I am now the proud owner of a project 2a with an old school Hi comp rover v8 that looks like it might have come out of a rover P6 or similar. Lots to do but lots already done. Hooray for Barn finds.
Been into the midlands finest creation since the mid eighties when I got my first 88 which was a 1958 series 2 with a V8 conversion. Loved them ever since, and have owned 9 in total. Best one was the 58 V8 [until now] and the worst was a 109 safari with a straight six [ must have left my brain at home when I bought that one ].
Freeing up the brakes at the mo [ success ] and making a long list of parts. Ouch.
Lot of questions but will post in relevant sections.
Cheers all
