This defender has had numerous hours of love and labour put into this very individual conversion that's really had no expenses spared, we started with a very standard white station wagon, Ex Council so not seen really hard work, the last mot's show around 500 miles per year for the last 6 or 7 years, so a good base vehicle, also an early TD5 which is by far the best and to some people out there, the only defender to customise.
so we had him painted in a fresh coat of raptor, very hard wearing paint, finished in grey with a black roof and bonnet, we then added the Masai panoramic windows which made a huge difference to how the big boy looked, we then attacked the interior with veltrim which looks nice but also insulates the truck, we then made our unit and scribed the long wheel arch covers and fitted them with lengths of vhoringer ply supplied by a very ethical source, Morland furniture company in wales, we then added the Smev 2 burner hob and sink, popped a bench seat opposite so its ideal for a cuppa or breakfast if the weathers not ideal for a little alfresco cooking. We have then fitted out the floor with hard wearing deck boards.
The cab area has also been re-fitted with diamond stitched Bentley style bucket seats, momo steering wheel and Bentley style stitched sun visors and a new sound system that's a bit more up to date.
Still to come Solar panel, leisure battery and inverter to give you the extra freedom to be off grid for long periods of time, the yellow DeWalt box in the rear is an ice box which has a really long ice time to keep your food nice a cool and won't zap your power supply, its also ideal for fishing and storing your catch.
