The '98 300tdi with 62000 miles

I followed this in LRM. It is almost perfect, but it still needs a galvanised bulkhead and windscreen frame and stainless fittings and bolts to make sure it lasts till the end of time.

Very nice looks like it just came out the factory

Knowing how crap a lot of LR's are coming off the production line were (are) I'd say it's a far improvement!!

Lovely looking (my mates a detailer to so I can only imagine the time spent on it) but as has been said way to nice for me lol. It'd be wrecked the first time the kennel dogs went in the back :lol:

Dogs occasionally get use of the back unless they are in the trailer.

didn't know about a galvanised windscreen frame? can these be bought already done?

Awesome looking vehicle. Masai rear windows would look great:

Land Rover Defender Windows 90 110 Tinted Masai Panoramics

Oh my God I posted in the defender section, I feel so dirty, I can hear my leaf springs snapping.

uke: hideous. Why people would fit them i have no idea. totally changes the look of a defender. If you don't want it to look like a defender then don't buy one in the first place.

suppose it makes it abit more modern to some extent

I like that.

As it happens, I just come into some money .. so if it's for sale ..

£750 plus my 300 Tdi Disco .. Never raced or rallied, slightly damp and might need a bit of a dusting.

I'm looking for an off-roading project base ..

Pshaaww .. a mere pittance ..

Only taking the **** mate .. it looks really nice that .. does you proud

It's a real credit to you. Mine is far from finished and just looks like a pile of unrelated parts at the moment. Can't decide yet what colour I will paint it but it has to be something easy to spot if it gets stolen and broken up...... Maybe a pink chassis ! I'm still trying to find out what should plug into my 'Spider' unit. Can you enlighten me? You can E-mail me if you want to stop too many people knowing too much about your own Landy.

Arms painted, Before anyone says i know the axels etc could do with being done also, believe me but ill get round to it

Also painted the visable exhaust pipe black to take the bad look of it

No commentos

It passed mot Monday past and the tester went round it three times whilst it wason shake test, btw we have a test center over here and it's nothing like your mot garages on the mainland, they are ****s here


Btw the axels will be getting taken out soon as they are starting to be annoying as they ain't as nice as rest of it!!!!

Very very nice !

Thanks

Pukka, very nice. Surprised it needed chassis at a mere 60k miles. Hoping to get my '98' to a similar standard eventually. Usually end up doing a dozen extra jobs on the way to finishing the one I started !

It would have needed it eventually so it was preventitive
