Thanks Tel, she's a beauty.

For ages I've heard that Detroit Diesel pale green was a close approximation of the MoD refurb color ...

Dupli-Color Engine Paint with CERAMIC Detroit Diesel Alpine Green Aerosol 12 OZ DE1618

Nicely done.

I've been away for a while but wanted to congratulate you on completing the build!

 

[telwyn]

Thanks! Took me long enough but really happy with it. Working through the punch list now.

Got the Maxtrax mounted on the FrontRunner roof rack now… Thought the tan would match better, but obviously not a big deal. Function over form.

 

[telwyn]

Lev-o-gauge in now too

Canvas covers for the head lamps

Fantastic restomod - would look killer with a series steering wheel though

Thanks! Don’t disagree, but wanted more room in the cabin and the Momo helped a lot with that. I’m not as svelte as I was when I bought this Rover in 2004.

Had my Starlink dish installed today on the FrontRunner roof rack. It was modified by Starmount into a new case with a 12v modification and has a wifi router built in now.

My 1967 m416 trailer build done to match my Lightweight is now finished (to the extent any build is ever truly finished). Really excited about it. Can’t wait to get them both dirty and bit banged up.

Oh man, screw the Rover. Show us the Camaro and Vette.

Ha! Not mine. Other cars getting restored at the shop that did mine.
