In early August I took possession of my 1991 Defender 90 200TDI from Terni, Italy. I purchased it back in May of 2016, waiting nearly 3 months for delivery. I picked it up from the port of NJ.
It took me a while to find the "right" truck, and I hoped this would be it. I wanted a white, LHD, 200TDI Defender. I wanted something with a very clean body, the mechanicals I wasn't too concerned of. After looking at probably 50 trucks, I knew this was the one I had to have.
From what I saw in the pictures and stuff I read on DefenderSource, I knew there were some must have mods for me to do. I started acquiring parts while awaiting delivery those were
Nolden LED headlights
LED markers
Wheels and tires
Rear cargo mat
NAS steering wheel
Front brush guard
Picking it up from the shipping container:

Immediately installed some black Wolf wheels and 265/75 BFG AT2's. While I was fond of the white wheels, they offset and width were too weak for me. Instead of sitting sunken in the fenders they fill out the wheel arches now. Maybe ill go back to white wheels one day.
I also installed a NAS steering wheel and Terrafirma knobs
Time to install LED lights
