Thanks for the offer! I might have to call in on your expertise one day. There was a soft-top 300TDi on eBay that finished yesterday, located in Oxford. But the seller never got back to me so I couldn't go see it. It went for £4200. Oh well his loss. :cool: Oh, and that's a very good looking 90!

Cool! I've got the tools, but I don't have space for a car in the back garden. :( One day, one day. :cool:

Hahaha! That made me laugh... no wait. I'm scared now. :eek: :eek: :D

Yeah, looks good, until you see the "+ VAT" thingy. :mad: I hate it when they do that on eBay. :rolleyes: Thanks for the link, tho! Keep em' comin'. :cool:

I've understood that too. And with my limited knowledge I agree with you. :cool:

I've not discarded the 300TDi. The 5 cylinders just sound nicer. :cool: And I'm not afraid of electronics. :) I'm trying my best to not focus on the engine or body shape, I am hoping that I can control myself enough to buy the one that's got a good chassis, bulkhead and mechancis. :cool:

Very nice!! You're doing a great job, Aaron! :)

Nice! Look how happy it is in its natural habitat! :D :D Heheeh! Brilliant! :cool:

I know, aaronmorris, I've been following your build with very keen interest. You're doing an amazing job. I would love to do what you're doing. :cool: Keep up the good work and keep posting the pics! :5bhurray:

I'd absolutely love to start off this way. I'd love to take one to bits and put it back just as I want it. However, I don't have the space (right now) to do so. Hope it'll be a good project for you. And post loads of pics! :cool: Thanks! Yeah, I know... I'm just being impatient! :rolleyes: :)

Oh come on! That's a tease! :D

Nice one! Love the modulars. :cool:

Thanks! I wouldn't mind a proper utility one, but I kind of don't want a kebab-van in the back. ;):D I probably can push the budget up, but don't really want to tie that much money into a car, especially an old car. I know it's a bit ironic that I'm complaining that I can't find a nice one...

Thanks for the info. Good luck with the hunt! :cool:

Awesome. I so wish I could do this. :)

Hey Mattward, I'm also looking to buy, and I'm in a similar dilemma to you. I'm leaning towards the TD5 however. Finding one seems to be very difficult, and quite a few are priced in the clouds. Would you mind sharing what sort of budget you've got? I'm currently sitting at around £6k (but that...

About £6k, but I'm leaning towards an early TD5. :rolleyes: I'd like to find one with solid chassis, bulkhead and mechanics, but a bit tatty interior etc. "The right one will come along... " and repeat.. :rolleyes: :D

Thanks I feel better already! :cool: That's a nice Defender! :cool: Not jealous at all. :rolleyes: :D

Thought I'd moan a bit hoping that someone would take a bit of pity and cheer me up a bit. Got interested in Landy's before the summer. Sold my car last month. Saved some money. Done tons of research; lurking here, YouTube, magazines. Been to see a few, but never got that "right feeling". Been...
