Hi all,
I finally bought me dream car and I'm already working on it like crazy. As written in the tittle, it's a TD4 2.4L from 2012 used by the army until 2020. It currently has only 58.000 kms, which is why I decided to go for it. Of course it is a really raw model without luxury but I'm slowly adding some! I already have tons of questions, but first few pictures from his first days home to illustrate this bad boy. First inspections, figuring out all the things to repair/replace. Giving him some noise insulation with Dynamite and Noico noise pads on the floor, walls and doors. Then adding a 4mm layer of cork everywhere for another noise/thermal insulation. And finally a nice house made carpet and wood effect PVC for the charging platform. *Oups I may have fail adding the pictures, any help is much appreciated! In the mean time here is the access to my google Drive. I will continue to populate it! 
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ia...sp=sharing * Since then I have been adding some other things. - A Nugget stuff sealed air box and air filter. - A Safary snorkel - A Cyclone prefilter on the top of the snorkel - A new turbo intercooler in prevision of a remap - Started the house made wooden (MTF black painted) layout - Focal ES100K speakers (which are not linked just yet) - A Webasto Chinese copy of a diesel heater through the passenger floor. - A DOMETIC Coolfreeze CDF 36 (absolutely necessary to keep the beers cold!) 
I will take and upload more pictures of these, but you know how it is when you have the head in, working hard. 
And I'm still installing: - House made seat box corner protection for the front and the back. (I may share the design and/or create a grouped order if some of you are interested) 
- House made carpet holder for all the door sill (I may share the design and/or create a grouped order if some of you are interested)
- House made embedded computer + sound system based on Open Auto project. This will include on a custom 2 din screen: ->CarPlay ->An Amp for the Focal sound system ->All OBD information and live car diagnostic ->Reverse camera ->External temperatures ->Batteries live monitoring -Retrofit of the electrical windows and central locking system -A full Renogy power system with an additional battery, 220V inverser and MPPT + solar charger Happy to share more information on anything above that might catch your interest!

Thanks for your feedback!
I tried to follow your steps but after a successful upload nothing is showing up. I tried to press the refresh arrow without success.. I also tried different browsers (Safari, Chrome, Mozilla) but it's not helping. Maybe I don't have the rights yet for this? |

Agreed lolo, a really good colour.
GregOb' When you have more posts on the forum you can post pictures. Or something like that. Have fun with the modifications on your awesome truck, and welcome to the fun of owning a Defender classic! |
