That would be a great story and sentimental build for the machine.
I have made a few changes along the way so it would be well worth DMing me on instagram when the time comes. I have a lot to say about doing it over again too so do not hesitate to chat! :thumbs up: 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |

This years change up for the V8 box:
I’ll be upgrading to the puma bulkhead. Reason for this is the fact I have booked for a timeless overland tour in France next year. And I want to be almost comfortable.. This is a county spec 2015 bulkhead. Meaning it accommodates for just electric windows and central locking. So I shall be aiming to have the puma dash and bulkhead in place. Along with everything else like the standard gearstick locations and such. AC is on the cards. I intend on utilising all standard LR items even the AC pump which I shall design a solution so I can attach that to the Toyota V8 engine. This should allow others in the future to convert these cars themselves and retain all standard features. Here’s hoping anyway. So far I have a full bulkhead and dashboard. I also have the fuse panel and floor panels, gear selector and transmission tunnel. I believe I’m in need of not much more. If anyone has done this before I am all ears. I intend on using my standard 10AS too. I’m very much looking forward to the extra comfort and even painting this thing, which I have never attacked before
