1997 Defender 90 Station Wagon
300 Tdi conversions and other upgrades
This Defender 90 Station Wagon has come to us from CA for a complete round of repairs and upgrades. The broad strokes being a new galvanized chassis, a 300 Tdi conversion with automatic gearbox and much more. Some of the other items will be some needed paint work 30 spline HD rear axles, HD 1 ton CV joints and HD axle in the front and much more.
The first step in converting this D90 to 300 Tdi is the complete removal of all the 4.0 EFI parts and equipment. The V8 EFI engine bay looks like this when we begin, but soon we'll have all the EFI parts removed and will be able to start with a blank canvas to work our magic.
We also need to remove a lot of parts on the inside of the D90. Here you can see we have started to tear down the interior for the rebuild and conversion. We get to toss a bunch of computers and about half the relays to make this D90 truly simple and bulletproof. We have removed the center console and have started to modify the Air Conditioning wiring harness so that it will interface with the Tdi's more simple way of operating.
Watch for more images as this 90 comes together!
