Bit of an update…

Benches back in the back now, carpet to follow…

Replacement (rebuilt good s/h at vast expense) front and rear axles, disks all round with LOF vented fronts

New pas box, Sumo bars, wide type radius arms and Superpro bushes

Getting there, she’s driving beautifully now!

Bit of a wash ready for next round. Engines coming out again for a strip and overhaul - using a bit too much oil…

Very nice! Love it Thumbs Up

Wolf rims look OK, but it should be wearing plain 5.5 (or 6.5's if you can find a set) of steelies for that retro look.

Set of the 16x8 ANR replicas are imo the best thing on most landies.

I'll respectfully disagree with that one. Their 8 inch width makes them far too 'Carlos Fandango' for the classic look, IMHO. Darren

Having got a set of the ANR's I agree they are a little too wide. James

I quite like the what would a mexican cartel boss do to his classic land rover look Laughing I've always found most if not all OEM wheel options on most cars look a bit tame. One likes a bit of dish, all wheels should have dish. I wish my ET0 wolfs were 8's they would be nigh on perfect.
