A utility wagon can be bought and the vat reclaimed so it's 20% off straight away.
The windows in Rog's build are hatch Windows I believe for easy access to equipment when on a big trip.
A station wagon would need too much work to convert.

Ive never seen that done before, great job done! I bet you cant wait till its all finished and you will have a true unique truck!! Thumbs Up

Cheers

Hey Rog,

Mate that is going to look just amazing when all is done! Cool Cool

Wheels V nice! And OEW is a great match... I too think perhaps Limestone is a touch too 'creamy'... You have caused me some confusion with this now!! Rolling Eyes

Ditching the 'Heritage' was obviously a bitter pill... but what you now have is truly unique and very special!

Looking forward to seeing the end result... UT are indeed a great bunch of skilled and passionate guys! Thumbs Up YOLO... You Only Live Once...

I had those from UT on my 110!

Easy to fit and look great too! The same on the back.

They are also available as LED with coloured lenses to keep the same look.

Side benefit is the new relay enables the 'trailer flasher' to be turned off! Very Happy YOLO... You Only Live Once...

apart from the wheels Whistle

are they 18"? maybe if the car sat level they would look better but i think the spokes just look a little too thin or something just isn't right.

i think id of played around with some hutchinson steels...


The width and offset of the Challengers are awful IMHO, they do seemed to have change the design to uniform spokes but wonder about the offset which used to look horrendous? Hutchinsons are eye-wateringly expensive. Keep your eyes peeled perhaps for a set of 'Hen's Teeth' Mach 5s or go with the idea of HD Wolfs which would be more in-keeping with the style and great work you and UT have been carrying out. Did you not chase up the ones you had provisionally inquired about from Rhinopower81?

Thank you for the compliment, it is much appreciated... Thumbs Up

The wheels were a compromise choice to be honest, in as much as I could not make up my mind, cannot afford two sets and wanted something different... Whistle

And there is no way I could run to Hutchinsons, not that I would as I don't really like the look of them tbh... Mr. Green

Appreciate the kind comments Mal... Thumbs Up

Not sure what you mean about the awful offset though, to be honest, but I haven't seen them in the flesh fitted yet... Whistle

Love this, would love to see it in the flesh as almost identical to my plans. But won't be as fast a transformation!!

I was at a Defender show near Sydney last weekend and there was a 90 Heritage there...

... with AC, cold climate, side steps, and lost of other factory 'standard' items!

WHY they could not make these Celebration models the same is just perplexing! Rolling Eyes

Still love it though! Cool YOLO... You Only Live Once...
