Evening all,
My name is James. I am planning to buy or build a 3.9 V8 Defender.
Having sold our 300 TDI last year and immediately regretting it, and always wanting a V8, I have decided to scratch both itches in one. It will be a weekend toy. Ideally and early defender on a galvanised chassis.(I spent too much time trying to defeat rust last time). Close to 40 years old is the plan.
Any advice gratefully received. I will probably be asking lots of questions!!!
 
Hi and welcome!

Lots of good help and advice on here. Don’t forget to invest in plenty of decent security measures too, they’re popular with thieves.
 
Welcome to the forum

Well, after a summer of searching, I have ended up with a 1966 series 2a with a 3.5 on SU s.
What have I done???
It currently has a bikini roof. I cannot decide whether to go hardtop or canvas.
If I go canvas, can anyone recommend which supplier to go for?
Many thanks
