New member, new project - Defender 90 Td5

Hi all, I have just begun restoring my 1999 Defender 90 Td5 and after reading some of the forums on LandyZone I decided to join and hopefully get some much needed tips and advice.
There's lots to do and plenty of time and motivation to do it!

Hello Gary and welcome!

Looking 4ward to seeing some photos, hi.

Yes, get some photos up. There's lots of inspiration on here.

Cheers all, I will get some pic's sorted later.
Been concentrating on getting rear load space sorted up to now;
Removed all seats and seat belt rails, repaired all the corrosion where the bots and brackets were and fitted a new chequerplate tub, almost finished just got the sides to fit.
Seems that spare parts identification is going to be an issue, so many serial number variants to deal with...
Even wheel nut replacement is being problematic identifying the correct ones; I was reminded by one of the traders at Billing Land Rover show that it's all part of the fun...

Can anyone tell me what size the bolts are holding the front wings on please?

My floor's disappeared.

Hi and welcome!

Looks like time to get the welder out. Don’t forget lots of decent security measures too, landies are very popular with thieves.

Thanks Knappster I will, it's relatively safe at present it has no wheels on.
Struggling to get the wing off a moment, it's in a bad way.

Hey and Welcome

Hi and thanks, nice day for pulling a Defender apart I think

Hi and welcome, whats your plans for your 90? Keeping it standard?

Hi Steve24v, Yes pretty much standard, It could do with a new bulkhead really but funds won't stretch that far so just repairing best I can for now.

I repaired the bulkhead on my 90, both footwells and up the top just below the windscreen frame, couldn't justify buying a new one.
Do you have a welder?

Yes, I bought a decent might welder a few years ago, I had a good idea I would need it one day, not that I'm welder mind... how difficult can it be
