Landrover (Defender) 90


The local Landrover parts and repair facility

Getting a new-used (less cracked) windshield

Gutted for the engine Overhaul
The engine on the Landrover is nearly done, she should be on the road by midweek. Hopefully. Then we can really explore. Near as we can tell, it a 1988 one of the last years it was just the Landrover 90 before it was renamed Defender 90.  Finding parts for any vehicle here is like an epic scavenger hunt, and only the locals know the answers. Side roads to parts yards frequently lead through puddles deep enough to reach the doors. Or weaving between kids wrestling or playing soccer barefoot in the road. Infants and toddlers roam the sand streets freely with no adults in sight.  Its common to see goats and donkeys tied to roadside grassy patches or being lead around by a young boy. There are tons of baby goats out now, super cute, no bigger than Thor.
