Thought i should update my build update pics.
The battery trays, batteries, isolater and handbrake have all been finally installed
Now just need to get it to the LPG guys, then the sparky can continue...
Isolater and handbrake mount
Looking across the cab
Details for shakes
Oh, and the reason the project has been delayed
Cheers

your not doing the wiring yourself? how'd you find a autospark that didn't double their price when they heard the word rover?

It isn't that bad as we have simply discarded most of the electrics, and are basically suppling ignition, lights, starter and accessories.
It has taken a while but that is my fault as i am yet to get the gas installed and a schematic for the sparky.

This is taking forever!!!
Anyway, the new front bar is painted and fitted. Looks fantastic and everything is only 150mm infront of the leading edge of the bonnet

They look much better now though cloughy, a quick cover with some stoneguard, and a coat of black, oh and new lenses...
Should be much cheaper to replace now when i snot trees and greenery, about $10 a fitting
Cheers

Hi Mangie
So are you willing to make more?
How long would it take to run off a set?
How much for another set?
Where are you based?
Sorry for the 100 questions......
PS Great work
I was looking at buying a set from the UK, someone over there makes the plastic deformable versions. Then i saw Cloughy had a set for sale, so went for a quick drive and picked them up, must say they were dog ugly in white.....
Cheers
