      Step one. Undo everything you just did. You spent 5k and turned it into paris hiltons handbag.
      Step two, take it to mahker, they have a clue how to build a landrover.

      Well, with the new aero in the back, the front needs to step up. How about a China splitter? Just what a defender needs. 🤷🏼

    • @DarrenCoull
      @DarrenCoull Місяць тому +1

      If it is still prone to breaking greasy bits, perhaps some choice drivetrain upgrades to make it tougher and of course more power to help move the brown barn through the air a bit quicker?

    Richard as an American, I’m so jealous of your Defender. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a 1991, 200TDI, British Import Defender here in the states. However, it chasing parts with their significant mark up and of course having a shop to treat Gypsy right that is challenging. I’m assuming she’s had a bit of a hard life before, and I’m just doing my best to keep her up and going. Eventually, one day I might get to a frame off restoration. She really is a wonderful old girl and deserves better than I can give her right now. Best of luck.
