Mate your pushing the bar up way high!

Without a doubt a new benchmark for others to aspirer too in a military Land Rover restoration from what I have seen around.

What is the plan for it once it’s done? Or haven’t you thought that far yet and just enjoying doing the project?

I can sense the kinetic energy wanting it finished, it must be palpable when driving it from the shed and back! Should pass road worthy hey ?  LOL.

Please let us all know when it’s going public and up for a squiz.

Hi Hot Rover,

I understand the rivet counter comment but your not out to please them. I like the idea of getting the in service look right but what you have achieved there is awesome !

If anyone can't see that they need there eyes tested. Please tell us you'll have that bad boy at Corowa for the year of the Land Rover.

Great work !!!

Mick

Hi there,  i am very interested in finding out what the numbers on the Christmas tree reference back to. I  know  the colours match the numbers as a code system but don't know what unit the numbers relate to. How do you find a landrovers history on here as i am new to this.  Thanks Rolly.

Hi Rod,

Did you paint it yourself? If so what was your method getting the borders of each colour so neat ?

I reckon you"ll need to post a few pic's of all your vehicles together. 👍

Cheers,

Mick
