Engine I'll give you.

Interior... redcard

Got a new light bar mount for it as well.
Plus the Prospeed compressor guard to tie in with everything else.

It's interesting, I always count silver as the dullest of dull car colours out there, but it really does contrast well with the wheel arches and then all the rest of the accessories. Looks great chum!

In some cars silver is a really dull and boring colour.

I think it suits the D3 because of the contrast with all the black arches they have.
Plus lots of the early press cars and the Top Gear car were all silver so it almost became the default colour for them.

I think the D4 suits a darker colour because it's all colour coded.

Later this year/next year i'll be changing the roof rack to a Front Runner Slimline 2 model.
Have an overland tour booked for next September so it's now time to get all the niggles and stuff i've been putting off fixed and get some proper mods for it.

^^ that looks very tidy.

New to me yesterday FFRR Supercharged smile next to my P38 (which has served me so well over the last 15 years that I am loathe to get rid of it).



And the two Landies for good measure....



Mrs88 is threatening to get me some dealership signs!

Cheers, it's not bad, but not even half as nice as your lovely 90.

Just done my first long trip towing with our latest Defender & spent a gorgeous week around the lanes of Cornwall - it's desperately flawed and slow after an XC90 but everybody loves it! Makes me smile just seeing it and it's the right width for B-roads...

Here is another one of mine

A factory reg Wolf 90 with no army reg number or contract plate. It is a very late prototype or a very early production Wolf. It has lots of small differences over later Wolfs.

Seeing as I'm new here, here's one of mine, a 1981 S3 Lightweight:

Do you run it stripped down in the hot weather?

Are you planning on doing a readers car thread on it? I would love to know more about the differences being a Land Rover geek and an ex(ish) REME VM

Got to be my favourite pic of my RR.

Currently undergoing a complete engine rebuild, and no doubt numerous other new bits and pieces.

Jdw1234 please please please whatever you do, please swap those indicators and sidelights back to the correct way round! It grips me everytime I see one that way, even wheeler dealers with the yellow stage one put them back on the wrong way!

Haha.

I promise to do it over the next couple of weeks. My mate (who I bought it with) is coming over and we are going to change the oil in gearbox/transfer case/diffs/overdrive etc. I'll add swapping the lights on the list!
