the dream car for me, defender 110.
once i've renovated the new house its on the list of purchases!
 
you won't be dissapointed @ mikeadams 1985 I love mine to bits it has its faults but much cheaper to run than the vans I had previous. plus so much more fun to drive especially in the snow etc :-)
 
Turkish workmenship at its best, id guess the cills are rotten as a pear,
I chopped a 53 plate transit in for my vivaro, it was riddled! you could kick a football through the wing and the cills washed away with the jet wash.

Just the usual on the arches but i keep on top of it..........got the van off an old fella who deals antiques so it had only done 50K when i got it last year which was canny for an 04 plate.

had a wobble on the steering the other week and thought it was the wheel balancing or tracking. took a look underneath and one of my tyres had wire coming through the rubber....................:RpS_blushing:

Keep on top of it as in? Underseal?

Mine was full of hole underneath, arches, cross members etc etc etc, horrific tbh!!

Bought it of an evening in a bit of a rush :(

either get me marra who's a bodyshop gaffa to sort them or just wack some white hammerite metal paint on the arches. you can't notice the new paint once the van is up the tits. I dont brush it on i just dab it on with a sponge so it just looks like stonechip paint effect...................if that makes sense.............:RpS_unsure:

I did underseal the chassis when i got it as well
