Show us your 90, 110, & 130

1988 Land Rover 90 - Arriving from UK on May 5th, 2013. 2.5 TD original engine, nothing more than paint, new interior facelift and mechanical repair work. AC Kit in box to be installed when she gets here. The car I have wanted since I was 16 and I have had to wait over 20 years to get. Wish they were sold here in the US. Only allowed to attach 8 Pictures so only one before picture and the rest are after restoration.

Gotta tell you, the after is impressive but I like the stripes in the before picture.

Picked up my 1985 Ex-MoD 110 a few weeks ago and have had a blast so far.

Drove this across the border myself last month. Lots of work to do on it, but it's a good starting point, a blank slate.

So...do tell about that 356 if you don't mind!

1955 fully restore, not original motor, pick it up some years ago in ohio, and truck back to miami, took couple of years to restore, belongs to my wife...we have a few of them, 930, 964, 993, 997,






My very first defender, my Neighbour loves it more than me, I'm currently building a khan defender 90 as we speak,

Nothing digital to post but I've had a couple 914's and have always lusted after a vintage 911S. Lately I've been thinking a 944 turbo for some odd reason. Never liked them in my youth.....
Worked on more rusty 356's than I care to remember though...lots of practice on rust repair up here in the northeast.

For a minute I was confused what model Land Rover you have...

Maybe if you also cleaned the mud off the driving lights you might night need all those other lights

1989 Defender 110 - Arkonik rebuild

[jjthenomad]

I am noticing in some photos, the rivets remain unpainted, but some are. I understand the mid section rivets are not usually painted, but what about the remaining rivets towards the back? I am in the process of restoring my 86 110 and would like to keep it as original as possible... Does anyone know if rivets were painted from the factory?

I appreciate any advice I can get!!!

Seres trucks were painted with the callings off, which were galvanized and installed with rivets (aircraft and pop style) after painting.

In 72 they went to all pop style rivets.

Defenders have the cappings painted, not galvanized. I suspect the body and cappings were separately primed, and then riveted together prior to final paint. So, the river heads would not be primed and therefore the pair could pop off the rivets years later.

Just speculation but seems plausible.

When a Defender gets repainted, it gets primed and painted completely assembled, so the paint would be adhered better to the rivets.
