cw01 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Had a lot of help from this forum, and although it is not yet where I want it, I thought I would post you all some pics of my project. I have posted this thread on a few forums, so De Ja Vu is o.k I started of with a bog standard ( and battered ) 110 FFR from the 1986 era. I used it for a few years, then dry stored it. During this time I developed a really strong 'lust' for the wolf(XD)defender, so I started buying bits as and when they became available. I was in no rush so got quite a few serious bargains, and I mean real bargains, especially when you look at the price of wolf bits just now. So here are a few pics............ The day I bought 16:KF:26 My first changes to it ( soft top and new boots ) My next changes, some radio kit, It then went into a lock up for nigh on 10 years. During this time I pretty much didn't touch it, then it saw light again....... ( apart from a new battery this beast started on the first turn of the engine) My faith had just incresed 10 fold in the tractor 2.5 NA derv engine.And 'yes' the tyres had all stayed inflated, I swear. So I started to add all the fancy new bits ( which was enjoyable ), and also started removing the MOD paint ( which really, really was NOT enjoyable) First, the new roll bar Then the rest of the cage Then the cab surrounds Then its nice new jumper New side locker covers New tailboard and mounts Few wee straighteney outy bits Some internals done Almost there, now decision time, hard or soft top~? Soft ?. Hard?. As I said still a few bits and bobs to get on with, namely side stalks in wrong place, side indicators to fit, few blanking bits to fit, few lights to be wired up, new exhaust to fit,tow strop( bonnet) fixings and probably a few more bits and bobs that the drink has allowed me to forget about. Once again, Thanks for all help provided, and I will update this thread on completion. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, what with the door, the ectoplasm on the wheel arches ( really just laziness, and non removal of masking tape), and the shoity camera settings, it looks quite spooky Chris.
