Will16 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi, I'm new here, This is mine and my dads project, we've had it a while now. It's an 1982 EX-RAF Defender 90. First the RAF had it; I think it was on patrolling duties and running around at RAF Brize Norton. It was then sold to Chubb and then Serco. It has been used thoroughly, Serco then nearly scrapped it . Then we got hold of it! We started off by cleaning it out, and taking all the ply paneling out. Then we changed the rear windows for some Alpine ones, to make it more useable for the road. We changed the wheels for some 8-Spokes, but those were changed back to the originals, which where shot blasted and painted. We also 3 brand new Landie steelies. My dad works at a military base, some in the school holidays, we took it into a garage, and pulled it apart. It got brand new doors, seats (all round), winch, winch bumper and lots of other things. It was then shipped to Yorkshire to be re-painted. Once it was home, we had gathered a few more things to go on it (It was there for aaaaaaagggggggggeeeeeeesssssssss!!!!). A Snorkel and swing away has gone on so far, a suspension lift is still in the shed waiting and we have a roof rack on the way :-D! Now on to the photos!!...... When we got it- Stripping the paneling- Alpine rear windows- New wheels- In the Barracks for doors, etc- Primer+paint- Newest pics- Sorry for the long post, Hope you like it, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
