It's finished! well sort off. In this 3rd and final video of the make over I'll go over the side locker, side window installation and the new internal storage cupboard. 00:00 intro 17:16 walk round
Just found your channel. Enjoy your editing style on this video 😮 3:05 just had a flashback of a bad-is/ cool British sitcom from the 70s or 80s. Forget name but they always talked about punk rock and lentils...🤔 anyway back to the video The Young ones....😅😂 22:45 your storage boxes on the roof are next level. ⚙💪 Interior and the cabinet came out nice. For the side box will you be adding cables to make the cover into a table or will it be just to high for a usable table?
hi thanks for the comments, yes I find the side locker to be too high when turned into a table, you probably saw from the other video the box on the other side has a removable lid and slots in lower.
Enjoyed your content Errol. Question for you, have you ever refitted a Defender 90 with the ability to sleep inside? No need for sink and stuff like that - think wild camping and say on the road for a month but then used as a daily driver. Roof top tents look great but noisy in wind in the mountains. Maybe that’s the way I have to go but worth exploring options first. Thanks Glenn
Hi Glenn, well yes I have done one Defender 90, it did have a roof tent but also had a small bench inside plus a fridge and a platform for two to sleep on, I will say it was very tight for the owners, they mostly used roof tent but for solo travel I think it would be perfect, so much so I actually want to build one for my self as I've never owned a 90 and I too feel it maybe the way to go.
Thanks for your reply. Choose good weather and you’ll mostly be outside but for sleeping anyway. I’m sure a lot of the storage can live under the truck and ‘secured’ when parked up. That would leave the whole of the inside for sleep. Go down...not up kinda thing 😉
Hi Errol - love your work. We own P9467… And do love it although can’t stop spending !!! If you remember on the rear passenger side there are brackets where I would love to put one of your side lockers. Do you still have one I could buy? If you are ver near Rutland area - would be great to meet up also !! Hope to speak soon.
My dream Defender! Wish I’d never sold it now 😂 I don’t have a locker that would work for your defender as it would need to be shorter so would have to get one specially made. I can do this if you gave me the measurements of what you want but I can’t post out unfortunately . You can contact me via coastline campers on Facebook if you like.
Amazing work as always. Have you always only worked on LR's? Do you know anything about old G classes and how they are for offroad/camper builds? From what i see and hear LR's are probaly too unreliable for my liking.
I’ve done work on sprinter 4x4 and land cruisers but Defenders seemed to find me more than any other. I also worry about the readability of them for longer trips but I think I might now finally be at a place where the td5 engine is the right one for me, I’m learning my way around it and had one for over 5 years in the past so I may start looking out for a keeper. I love the sexy beast but it’s too similar to my last one so I may look to a 90? Thanks for watching.
