New toy has arrived
« on: January 28, 2007, 23:33:06 »
thought I would put up a few pics of my new toy, quite a lot to do to the 200 to tidy it up, but luckily Paddocks is only 15 minutes away so think I will have a few trips there!






Just bought discs and pads for the front and heavy duty steering arm, track rod and pro comp steering damper to make it a bit nicer to drive.
Need to clean up the interior a lot, don't think it has ever seen a hoover, also got some surface rust in the back to get rid of.
The guy who sold it to me also gave me some range rover leather seats for it so they need to go in as well.

And a pic of how the interiors have changed over the years!!

Can't go wrong with a Commercial! Loving mine, though it can be a pain in the backside at awkward angled junctions!

Cheers guys.  Not nearly as tidy as it might appear, there are certainly quite a few dents and bashes in it!

The difference between the 2 is vast, of course, shows how far land rover have come!  Need to take the muddies off the d3 now, will be great to get rid of the drone!

200 is coming along nicely, replaced front calipers, discs and pads today along with a few other bits.  Ground all the surface rust off the boot floor and painted it with stone chip, got some green on the way to finish it off, but have also boarded over it.

Also sat in it for half an hour trying to decide where to put the cb, nearly cut the headlining but decided to make a new centre console instead, the radio doesnt really fit in it properly and fancy a bit of fabrication!

Still undecided whether the car pc should be going in or not...
