After pulling the landy out of the container i noticed this......
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Looks to be leaking out of the swivel so cleaned it up and will keep an eye on it. Found some Quickfist Clamps in a drawer at home and thought i might as well fit them. Really like them so think i may end up buying some more
Click image to enlarge And also found in the garage at home my old sun visors which i thought had gone to the tip years ago. So a quick test fit and then will remove them and spray them up black Click image to enlarge 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold 1989 Land Rover 90 - Rebuilding/built - its a project 2002 Land Rover Discovery TD5 - Sold 2017 Mini JCW F56 - Current Daily Driver |

Made a start on the wiring yesterday afternoon with my mate whos an auto-electrician, Got the brake lights/side lights working and the fog light and the LED number plate light. Will be finishing it off next tuesday morning. Cant really tell in the photo though, The fog light is probably the brightest to see
Click image to enlarge Fitted some corner protectors on the seat box again these were found kicking about the garage so may as well make use of them 
Click image to enlarge And finally the axe got a friend on the back of the door Click image to enlarge So roll on next tuesday when hopefully all the lights front and back will be up and running 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold

Decided to change the front grill from the RDX/KBX/big plastic one to a TD5 style grill and light surround. So Bought off eBay and ready to fit on the weekend, before the auto electrician comes and we finish off the wiring to the headlights etc

I also agree, plus its cheaper and easier to cut a hole out for a winch
Here is said grill on the landy ready for all the lights to be wired up, its not secured in place as headlights need to go into the light bowls.

And now all lights on the 90 are working except the reverse light which looks to need a new revers light switch in the old gear box so will change that out on the weekend. Then a couple of engine bay jobs to be done, bonnet on and away for MOT
