Defender TD5 make over
After almost one year, I have this Defender TD5 almost ready for battle. Bought the car with an empty bottle of whiskey in the back and some damage. A tree and and electric box came on his way. Previous owner had a bad day I suppose.

Def have now a new back and front bumper, full respray, new fuel pump, new wings, new bonnet, new grill, new lighting, new cooling, new suspension, new oil service, new, new, too much new. And here it is. Still not ready but it will be soon. Came with FSH. Last service 4K (KM) before.

Thanks for all replies.

No chassis damage found.

Always wanted to do such a project. When I noticed the car I knew that it was my challenge to repair it.

The car is for sale (in a few weeks).

Defender Tina got finally a fine layer of under body coating and wax treatment for the bumpers, chassis and doors.
After that I did one phone call and the car was sold an hour later. Too bad as it looks and drives like new. The new owner will be happy.
