Finally got the defender back on the road! Had it’s MOT @1400 today. It had the garage stopped as everyone came over to admire (and point out the fact I scrubbed the wall getting it out the yard) it on the ramp!

The only issue was drivers side headlight beam needed adjusting down. Couldn’t be happier, and taken just under 2 weeks shy of exactly 1 year!

Congratulations, mate. Crackin achievement :cool::)
 
Thanks gents!

Hopefully I can get use of it, before anything goes belly up!

It was a decent runner before the rebuild, only issue was the fuel lines drawing air. Touch wood it’s like that again!

I will sort some tomorrow, but here is one still in the yard. The day before it drove out.

Well Done Mate. Must be a Great Feeling getting to the End. Whats your next Project

It was a great feeling when the tester gave me “the nod” to say it had passed! It’s been a roller coaster journey that started as a “weekends work swapping the bulkhead”. It’s had it’s ups and downs, and right now I wouldn’t do another.

As for the next project, I still have an old 110 chassis, and I need a large heavy duty trailer........
