Each to there own. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

It needs either:
A, lowering Or B, bigger tyres. Though I see where you're at. Nice. |

I'm sorry. I know it's a personal thing but no defender worthy of the name should ever be subjected to a wheel/tyre combo like that. It's just not that kind of vehicle.
It's like watching Bolt run a 100m in high heels. Just no. |

Looks like it's been a real labour of love. Is that a galvanised chassis?
I have to agree about the tyre and wheel combo - given the place of work I'd like to assume that they were just a cheap takeoff set he's borrowed whilst his real tyres and wheels are on order. And maybe "Land Rover" on the bonnet would work better with the "defender" badge below? |

Yes it's been re built from the ground up on a galvanised chassis
Every nut & bolt replaced and not a spot of rust or even a ripple in the paintwork. It really is minted. I suppose a set of Sawtooths with bfg's shod on would be a more suited look. As arc99 said, each to their own, I respect the work that's been put into it. The inside is to the same standard.

Absolutely agree. Apart from the wheels/tyres it looks like a very nice truck indeed

Impressive, you'd eat your dinner out of those wheel arches

Loooks like an immaculate vehicle.
But for sure, I'd like to see it lowered 2" with a set of big brakes under those wheels. Pickles. |

I agree with everyone it looks amazing but the wheels are very wrong. I agree too that Land Rover would have been better on the front especially with Defender under it.

Looks nice, apart from the drug dealer wheels.... The doctors said it's OK to listen to the voices, just not to do what they tell me!

I appreciate that the vehicle has been loved and looked after - but I'd be too scared to get in it!

hmm...
To me, 90 pickups aren't really complete without a sheepdog in the back. |
