Hi. Name is Peter and I have been a landy owner for about 5 months now. Never really had the idea of owning one until a friend took one apart and did a frame off restoration to take back to the USA. Yup.. an American in love with a Defender.
I bough my first one (yes... I now own 2) in February. The second one I bought in March.
1989 110 - First one is now all torn apart in my garage and frame is at the blasters/painter. Axles and various bits are on their way this week to be either painted, powdercoated or zinc plated. I hope to have it done this month as I return to the USA here soon and hope to bring it all WORKING again back with me in July.
1988 110 - This one is in better shape mechanically wise but needs some love on the body. Going to bring this one back as well and do the restoration in the USA where I have more time. Needs a 2.5 petrol however (17H) that seems to be hard to find.
Here are some pictures for the current, Ninja Turtle as my kids put it, project.
