Can't help but think if I was going to all that trouble I'd

A: use a galv chassis
B: build it as a 110 CSW
C: use a puma dash
D: make the interior look special

I'm sure a lot of time and effort has gone into it, but a bit more work would have seen it (in my eyes) finished...

Each to their own. Nice to see something a bit different at least..

I agree - shame about some of the details when so much work has gone into the build.

It's certainly a case of 'you can't sell it for what it cost you to build it' project. For £50 - £60k build cost I would have thought it would have been better - new galv chassis and bulkhead etc. Genuine recaros, KBX grill rather than bolt on bits copy etc.

If you are going to spend that kind of money building a custom defender then it needs to be for keeps really otherwise you are just loosing lots of money.

I agree a few details could be better, My gripe is why would you put Lpg on something like this? its not like its an everyday motor and if you can afford it you can afford the petrol!

Looks fantastic imo

My confidence has been writing cheques that my abilities can't cash for years.

Not over keen myself, seems a bit MAX power ish from the 90's prefer the twisted or urban truck style

Agree it may have cost a bit to 'make' but imho not worth £38k

The interior looks a bit let down also given the price.

A brand new engine running on carbs, seems a bit odd?

I agree with derbywill, why LPG it?

From the description it sounds like the LPG tank is in the rear tub too, and is probably taking up most of the room in there!
