1989 Land Rover Defender 90 County Station Wagon 2.5TD 5sp Turbo Diesel D90

1989 Land Rover Defender County Description:

1989 Defender 90
VIN: SALLDVBB7FA378833
Rare County Station Wagon hard top model with 4 jump seats and carpet kit.
Lots of work, with receipts, since purchasing: New clutch, rebuilt 5sp transmission, replaced timing belt, new water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses, fuel filter, master and slave cylinders, USA Defender wheels (5 total), BF Goodrich AT tires, Bulldog aluminum spacers, Kenwood stereo and new UK radiator in box ready to install. More miscellaneous parts included as well. I have a good source for parts in the UK.
Imported legally using a US customs broker from England in June 2014 with all federal, homeland security and customs documentation.
Disclosure: There are the typical rusted components all around this vehicle. The front bulkhead has typical rust damage but the floorboards are still in tact. The rear body and frame mounts are in worse shape. The gas gauge stopped working and the radiator leaks. The battery carrier is also heavily rusted. It will start after a few tries with a puff of smoke. If driven daily, it starts very quickly. There is a draw that drains the battery, so I installed a battery cutoff switch. The power steering failed so I removed the belt. I was never able to get the transfer case into low-range. Not sure what it needs in order to fix. The drivers side window does not roll up the entire way because the felt track is damaged. The doors all have typical rusty bottoms. The transmission, differential and oil pan leak. The parking brake does not hold.
