Well, now that I have the truck and a few bits on order, figured it was about about time for its own thread. Anyway, here are the token 'before' shots:

At collection (and never to be this shiny again)

'tis a good question - not 100% sure yet. I'm with GUM, in that I love the shape and like the pickup to look like a pickup, so don't want a Truckman or similar. Do really like the African Outback lid Glyn has on the back of his, but those things seem to be like hens' teeth these days.

Anyway, that's for the future, there's security & rustproofing to sort first... Sad 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

If you prefer rough, tough, and beaten with hammers in Solihull to sleek and svelte Italian, that's your lookout I suppose Cool Whistle

I'm looking at a similar vehicle but has no canvas or poles. So if you were to shift them I'd be interested in a guide.

It's not actually an Italia Independent - just a stock one with a matte black wrap. It is the 3.2 V6 however Twisted Evil 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU
