Have you fitted a hidden winch yet. Look fwd to seeing the car at an event

+1 from me... couldn't have put it better.... BUT....

Before Gazellio goes off on his overland travels though, I'd ditch the purple t-shirted oompa-loompa climbing up the rack ladder.  Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

Rack looks nice. Did some kind, but short, person let you have it for a song AND fit it for you one dark, freezing night?

And do you want to buy a Defender?

Mr No Dosh what a fine rack it is and now adorned with a spare wheel

What Defender are you selling?

Thanks Willy I am really enjoying putting it together and really enjoy getting it offroad.

I understand comments re the Front 240's but I am a child at heart and have always longed for a Ralley Style lights since the days of the Escort Mexico! At £350 you don't just discard them either

I am going to try an powdercoat the A-Bar and see what this looks like. I have looked into other ways of attaching the lights but there are not many without seriously operating on the grille and bumper. I will keep you posted

You can paint it whatever colour you like but it is still pointless having that awfull bar stuck to the front.
sorry

Where are you planning to go in it? or is it to promote the business?

Ok I understand your opinion on the bar. It is only there to fix the lights without otherwise altering the car.

I will be regularly offroading it via the D3 Club events (And FRR & Disco3 events) and plan a few proper trips to Spain & North Africa with them in due course.

Its a personal project but if it helps attract business that would be good too
