viking Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 By the time that this thing is finished you will be so proud of it that you will end up like one of these classic car people who only drive it a few times a year tacking it to car shows when it is not raining and put it on the drive on Sunday morning so that you can polish it. probably mate what does Grace think of it now............is she warming to it ? not yet, even when its all done i still dont think she will like it, shes not liked any on my land rovers, she still hasnt forgiven me sor sellin g my mondeo st220, she liked that, You will get there Lee one day mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Very nice. Bit surprised the brake pipes run on the outside of the u-bolts holding the springs to the axles. The pipes look a little vulnerable to getting snagged when going over rough ground. Is this the norm for Landrovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 a few days ago i ordered some samples from martrim, a tufted nylon carpet, and a couple of cheaper alternatives to see what they were like, only the tufted would do but at £24 a meter off a 54" roll id need 5 meters so its £132, the premium set from exmoore was £160, and came with a 8mm acoustic backing so i think id be daft to not get the exmoor set, no cutting, no need to get anyone to come cut/fit it as id only mess it up if i tried to cut it myself, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
