well photos dont show that, so if your expecting a medal based on the pics..... you could be waiting long enough to paint a few full sets of wheels!!  :lol:  :lol:

the restoration of a landy does seem to start with the stuff thats hidden from most views... which is why its good to see a well done motor, after owning one, you get to know its not just a case of a lick of paint!

well keep at it, would suggest getting some nice big wheels instead of painting the other two!  :wink:

Indeed they are, no idea how much and where from ect as they were fitted before I got it. They were used as flashers for the Cave Rescue work (Still have the Relay, just no wiring).

Nah, I'm a tight arse, and it already has BFG Trac Edges fitted. Plus black LWB rims look awesome.
