plan would be

-swap to correct wheels
-strip paint off all the galvanised bits that should be showing (i think) on a C reg
-mechanical fettle up
-repaint exterior in Trident
-convert to soft top

engine seems fine but I have a 4 litre RPI rebuild ready to go

what are the chances of an LT85 surviving a bit more power?

cheers

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green

Go for it, genuine 90 V8's and not that thick on the ground these days, looks a good project and Trident green is a nice period colour. my 85 is slate grey and will be having a makeover this winter.

I would say the LT85 will handle a bit more power, they are an agricultural box but quite strong but ok if you take the gear changes slow and smooth.

Is that a plastic Land Rover badge on the rear or a stick on decal?
