Defender was stripped, painted, fitted on a 300TDI RC Chassis about 4 years ago
Since then I have re-wired the entire vehicle, replaced all major bushings/steering components and almost every moving part

Regrettably I need a larger vehicle. Love this 90, has proven itself reliable on long road trips and small off-road excursions

Needs: Brake Pads/Rotors as I haven't gotten around to them yet will happily do them before I send it down the road.

Reasonably looking for $50K but I will entertain offers, will happily take more detailed photos for interested parties.

People can spend 50K on polished turds or 50K on this sorted out gem!
Thank you, It's a well sorted 90 ready for a new owner to put their stamp on it. Totally agree with the sentiment of glittering turds vs real value (hence my pie in the sky asking price ;))
