It's been a long road but hopefully a light at the end of the tunnel. Imported my 1991 Santana/Defender Series 4....what u may ask? At the end of Santana life, they were building essentially Series 3 leaf sprung chassis with full Defender body/interior. I found a buddy in Barcelona and imported one over 4 years ago right before the market went ballistic.
Once home, the 2.5NA lump was pitiful...it couldn't even drive up the transport truck without putting it into 4low! My buddy Tim at Scully Offroad was getting into 110 restorations and engine conversions. He had a Brazilian truck with a 'good' 300tdi engine and we started building.
