989, RHD, Defender 110, 3.5L V8, ExMOD.

Reducing the fleet by one. The frame is solid with no rot. Front outriggers, mid cross member and rear cross member have been replaced by prior owner. The doors have been replaced by a prior owner but the current door bottoms are starting to rust again with the right front door being the worst and the only door that the bottom is rusted through in the corner.

The factory dual carburetors were replaced with a New Holley Sniper EFI along with a Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. I also replaced the fuel tank and tank cradle, the supply and return fuel lines. A pre fuel filter before the pump was added along with a second, fine fuel filter just before the EFI in the engine compartment. All fuel components from the filler area including the filler and vent hoses and clamps leading to the tank were also replaced. The original intake and carbs are available if the new owner wants them. Wish I had done this conversion years ago! The rotor, cap, plugs and wires have all been replaced.

New master clutch (Dorman conversion) slave cylinder and the seal on the bulkhead at the master clutch cylinder were also replaced.

The heater box, heater core along with all hoses, clamps, radiator fluid, upper and lower radiator hoses, thermostat were also replaced at the same time. The radiator was replaced by a prior owner.

All fluids changed on a regular basis and yes the trans and t-case do leak and I keep them topped off.

The rear brake drums, shoes, springs and axle seals have been replaced, the front disks brakes are in good condition.

I attached a document with all the repairs I have done along with repairs by the prior owner. I have tons of pics available but did not want to flood the site. If interested, I can send any additional pics needed.

The 110 has been garage kept by me and never driven in the snow or on roads during the winter with road salt while I've been the owner. The roof does leak in the front on the right side but all of them seem to that I have been involved with. As a result, there is some rust on the front right floor where it connects to the trans tunnel.

$28,500. I'm not interested in any trades as I'm trying to reduce the fleet by one vehicle.

Congrats on the sale. Looked like a neat truck. Out of pure curiosity, what was the MoD history on the vehicle? I have not seen any early Defenders that were ex-MoD 5 five doors and especially ones with factory V8s. I know they had later ones with 300tdis.
