mite see ya there undecided on site yet

anyway after knacking the welder mid week didnt get the chance to change the wheel carrier mount around :doh: :doh:. however the series 2 project ( on hold for now its a mega rebuild job now  :doh:) came up with a rear door carrier.

just bolted it to the roof rack for now . now thinking it would be ideal plate for wheel carrier on the back door at a later date

you only have a centre difflock so if you disengage that when turning you will prob get stuck........
