  • ⚙️ Starting a Full Restoration on an Old 110 – Need Tips!

Hi friends👋
My friend Recently picked up an old Defender 110 from a friend in Anuradhapura. It's seen better days (lots of rust, engine tired), but my friend planning to do a full ground-up restoration.

My friend plan so far:
  • Body off restoration
  • Engine swap (thinking of going for 300Tdi or maybe something newer)
  • Replace all wiring
  • Original-style dashboard rebuild

Final goal: safari-ready but daily usable

I Would love any advice from anyone who's done this in Sri Lanka. Where do you get body panels? Any trusted mechanics around Kurunegala or Kandy?
This one's going to be a long journey, but I'm excited to bring her back 💪
