Very true Pam, that may be the reason. IMHO, your cage looks very nice, as does the rest of the vehicle Very Happy Thumbs Up An engine to TDi for!

Thought I should really update this ! Not done much to the Landy really, just a few electrical bits and bobs. It developed a few sudden problems, so they're being fixed now. Sound proofing is the next job, and then a new head lining Very Happy An engine to TDi for!

That's some serious rust , are you sure it was not next to the titanic . That was the sort of car you did not park next to .
Just in case it was contagious Laughing
James Cameron may want to do a film on it

Very nice now though

Cheers Cakey Thumbs Up It was worse than I thought it was when I bought it! I got it home, pressure washed the chassis and blew big holes in it Embarassed

238kirk- Unfortunately not! I've got half of the wiring stripped out at the moment, as I thought this bad weather was all over! I was obviously wrong! Big Cry An engine to TDi for!

Looks pretty good underneath for nearly 16 years old? Mr. Green

Then today I went about fitting the front wheel arch spats, front mudflaps and new side steps.

Unfortunately, the side steps need some modification to fit properly, but nothing an angle grinder won't solve! Whistle An engine to TDi for!
