A Second Landings Project
The Defender Rebuild
Bringing a 1997 Defender 300TDI
back to life, by hand.
The Project
A 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 — the 300TDI, the all-mechanical one. No screens, no software; just linkages, fuel, and compression. I'm rebuilding it myself, learning the engine one fastener at a time.
After a career spent on systems I could never actually touch, this is the opposite by design: a machine that rewards patience and hands. The through-line lives here; the grease and the progress live on the feeds.
