Almost finished the restoration of my brothers Defender 90, It has took him two and half years to do, but well worth it. Just a few cosmetics to do..
Loads of hours labor has gone in to this with my help when needed, but credit to my brother he has done a top job.
When he took it for the MOT, the tester was in awe, when he saw how much care and attension has gone in to every little nut and bolt and detail.
Its better now than when it left the factory.

Wow! That's brilliant. Great job. I'd love to do the same with my TD5.

I love the brake pipe routing, its actually quite hard to get very neat self made pipe runs.
Ps wolf wheels and some 235/85/16 tyres will fill the wheel arches nicely.
