excellent work , at least you will know the defender well when its finished and what a combination a fun RWD, a fun FWD hot hatch and a fun 4x4, the best of all worlds. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

If it is allowed I have no problem posting on here.
I will have the 90 a long time so you know what it is like with them they are never finished even when it is on the road I will be doing updates on it. I will be stating work on the escort during that time so can add it onto this thread if I cant run a separate thread.

I know what you mean with an " on going project " Thumbs Up

I think it should be ok to do a thread on it in the " off topic " section Thumbs Up

You can always ask Martin to make sure Wink 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.

Very nice work!

What is the idea with that rubbed, strenghtened and double shelled outside plate on the footwell anyway? Not the easiest to preserve. Series don't have that. Did LR introduce this on the Defender because to make it stronger? Safety (rolling eyes)? Or just to promote rot

I have fond memories of an XR2 until an unfortunate incident with a bridge ended its life. My RS2000 was a rare car in that it's one I managed to sell rather than embed in the scenery. I do not have a good record with cars in my youth.

I also have shed envy.
