I think they are cooper discoverer stt.
You get a lot of noise from them at speed, I'd prefer something a bit quieter. |

Probably a bit 'boring'... but the standard Continental Cross Contact AT is very quiet...
I swapped my Goodyear MTR from new for them at the dealers... suits my kind of driving too.  YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

It's Baltic blue with a black roof.
I've got to confess that it's not my own work, the previous owner has to take the credit. I've just changed the grille, I'm going to spend some time thinking about what to do before doing any further changes. |

Blue isn't normally my colour but that is a nice one, some painted body colour mirror covers from CSK and a Defendoor and I think that'd round it of perfectly with nothing else added.

You're spot on with your advice, it would be so easy for me to get carried away over the next few weeks and buy things I'll regret later. I'm going to take my time.
For now I've ordered a touch up pen (couple of stone chips to sort), some new bolts for the bumper (to replace the rusty ones) and a land rover badge to go on the front grille. I'm not normally too keen on blue either, but this one grew on me over a few days. |

Which half? 
It happens all to easily, mine had some very interesting mods done to it over the years. The most agricultural being a home made cubby box! Served a purpose but I find the centre seat more usefull these days. I have to disagree with you on the blue though, I specced a Baltic Blue 130 but could not afford it, my one regret. One day if I get enough together and I get the full strip down rebuild I have been after for years my 110 will be treated to a respray in Baltic Blue but thats a looooong way off for now.

By hauling a pile of T+G home in the trailer to fix the barn door so I can get it undercover
Click image to enlarge Cleared out a decent sized area to lay up the truck and stash the tub and panels. I have a feeling this is going to be the cheap part /sigh.. 3 Landrovers |

Fitted this over the last few days, just a teaser pic really as its cloud out so I can't get a decent full photo.
Click image to enlarge Next the whole thing will want cleaning, then I'll be sorted at long last.

Wow, Just LOVE that "Barn",...We've nothing quite like that in Aussie, but being an old "Pom", I do appreciate this kind of thing. So, any history, and how old would it be? Regards, Pickles. |
