I know that landy!! :mrgreen:

I take it you'll trim the front guards to be flush with the bottom? Top/side hoops to run around frontal edging?

Will the cert man like the supports for the bar either side of the radiator, might fail on not being "pedestrian friendly" ?

like the steering protection very nice

You have no idea what you have just done do ya Tom my boy. Even LR freak in NZ is going to see that and think their's should look the same, (not better because LR owners strive for something that will just work, it doesn't have to be better than anyone else's :wink:

) So now you have to work out how Series landys are left going in this country, knock 30% off that figure (cause those owners just don't give a shite) and ther rest will be in your shop for a fitting of coolness. You are never goiung to get away from them now!! :mrgreen:

Honestly mate, your design, asthetics and inherent strength in that design has grown exponentially. You should be justifiably proud of the work you are doing now as it IS the tits. Seriously well done.

What he said and maybe you should fab a up a steel drip tray to stop the brit 4bys marking your territory (oh yeah and a small portable one for the owners too). I dont know what you did in a past life but I think your future one has fabrication in it...

Ahh shucks :oops:
