Had a small delivery all the way from Noow Yawk.
Click image to enlarge(they smell real bad...) Originally I was thinking of some Bahama Gold inlay for the lettering but, now I've seen them I rather like the contrast with the matte and gloss finish. Maybe I'll just do either the Cummins or TURBO DIESEL painted and leave the other as is, thoughts? Stuart

I'm still looking forward to seeing how you will get the bonnet to shut.
Perhaps this will be your inspiration (but you might need bigger blocks): Click image to enlarge (Photo courtesy of Bonhams). |

I would leave as is as the black will pop against the Bahama Gold Clayton.

Tangible topless progress.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Uber'd my ass to the garage at lunch today. Upper half off in minutes. 1x Bumper bolt; 30+ mins. Very Land Rover 
Bonnet is in nice shape, very much being reused. For the Winston Wolf of the forum: 
Secretly stressing out about how my turbo is different though... shhhh...  Stuart

Lads, I've been had! Some Portuguese chaps have beaten me to it this week. Not salty at all
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge (IG landroveruniquemasterpieces) In all seriousness though it's stunning and I'm in love with the 3 colours 
Now I no longer have to imagine what it'd look like
If I wasn't living in such a dreich country I'd totally bump these colours for my own - who would think a brown hitch would looks so dope! Stuart
