Its got that Aussie look about it

I don't have much info on it, reddit popped up a notification for a subreddit "projectcar" that I wasn't aware I was in, had a scroll down, some nicely restored american vehicles, and some pieces of what I can only describe as utter sacrilige - this being one of the latter. The only info i've got for it is a comment by the dude who posted the pics saying "He built it for a trip to the arctic and it's just kinda sat since then."

This is what landrover used to be about
Now it's all about plastic side boxes and digital shïte

Ah, the Pretender, the bastard child of an Ejoke and Thunderbird 2.

Its a shame, really
Remember how we all looked forward to the return of the defender on the same lines of the recent past modern iterations of the G-wagen (not those AMG and brabus monstrosities), only for it to come out as a laptop on wheels.

I've a real G wagon at the garage for a gearbox. 1980, with the 350 6cyl engine. A proper tank. Drives like a tractor but a cracking off roader with factory locking diffs

An example of what the new Defender should have been rather than a school run Disco replacement

D'accord mon ami

I think we're in Underpigeon territory.

To me this thing looks like it was the sort of build that was begging for a Defender 130 to be the base vehicle rather than molest a range rover into being something outside it's design envelope. One thing tickles me, if it was "built for a trip to the arctic", why lower tailgate on the load bed rather than on the cabin, meaning cabin the isn't enclosed?Good luck overlanding in the actric with a five square foot at the back of the cabin.

That's quite nicely done, looks like a professional conversion rather than something that was assembled in scrap heap challenge, and the contestants ran out of time.

That's one way of avoiding the dreaded rear sill and arch rust I suppose.

My first though as well, but being a southpaw it doesn't have home market origins.
