GREENI's fault
I've owned two factory V8's previously with the intention of rag topping them but could never bring myself to do it with them both being so original. Anyway with all the hysteria on the forum I just happened to stumble across this on Autotrader.
I viewed on Saturday and collected today. She's no show queen and I liken her to a 70's Bond girl - a stunner back in the day Laughing
There's lots to do to get her looking reasonable but not sure whether to get stuck in or run it through Summer first.
I have the magazine from when it was first completed and it is a shame she's ended up in this state.

Please paint the wheel arches black!

What’s the spec on it?

Peer pressure can be costly.

Looks nice though. What are your plans?

I'll be putting gloss black arches on eventually. The spec is - she's rough. A transplant 3.9 under the bonnet.

I think the first job should be to remove the chrome Landrover badge off the bonnet then run it for the summer Mr. Green Ray

doesn't look that bad from the pictures... what else is up with it?

I've love a V8 soft top too, but living in Scotland I'd only actually get to use it 3 days a year Laughing 2013 Discovery 4 HSE Lux | 2001 Defender 90 TD5 | 2007 Prodrive RB320

I thought you may have gone for an LS3 or LSA rather than a 3.9. It looks like a good project thought. Thumbs Up Defender 90XS SW

Looks tidy enough that to run for the summer at least, although I agree with the removing of the bonnet badge.

Looking forward to seeing how you develop this one Thumbs Up 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

There are numerous trinkets, stickers, badges and additions that all need removing. The full on sound system must have cost a fortune in the day - it's all coming out. The only sound I need is under the bonnet Very Happy .

Don't let living is Scotland be an excuse for not having a soft top! I run Alfred the 109 with a soft top 365 days of the year up here in Orkney! Leaks less than my sons 110 hard top! Rolling with laughter
