Thanks, good luck with your project and it's nice to hear of another one being saved
![]() I think there are quite a few Defender owners out there with an old Series tucked away for fun trips out! |

Inspirational stuff. I was going to wait until my son was 10 before attempting a rebuild with him.
BTW: he has that green defender toy too ![]() + New Defender 110 First Edition |

There are a two companies knocking out restored bulkheads not so far from you which they will also galvanise. Otherwise it won't take long to get one sorted through OLLR or the Series2Club forum
![]() I spotted a genuine 54,000 mile, one owner example a few months ago that had been standing for 10 years. It became too much of a handful for the old lady to drive so she just parked it up and left it! It was no good to me so I passed it onto a mate who has since stripped it and sold the bits on for a profit BUT it just shows they are still out there and the mechanicals were all in very good shape ![]() |

Sorry thought you would have known about Ashtree http://www.ashtreelandrover.com/ BUT there is another company I discovered on this or the Series 2 Club forum in the last couple of days nearby ish near Andover - I was going to get a front panel off them but I can't remember where I saw them
![]() I'll keep looking but Ashtree will knock one out for you - Think they are about £7-900 if I remember right and quality has improved recently apparently. Either that or get one through the Forums for about £250 in good shape or restored and galavanise it yourself. (£60 minimum fee, your nearest Galvanisers charge I seem to remember!) |

£900 plus vat from Ashtree. Fortunately mine's pretty good at the moment, so will soldier on for a bit before I strip it off and refurb it
