Excellent. Good to see your black, white and arches theme continued too!

Looks pretty decent for the age of it. What's in its future?

I used to like landies (as my dad had about 3) but then went off then completely. However the past couple of months have for some reason changed that and I quite want one! They are screaming out for the roller brushes to come out for some creative stuff: Although as urs already has the lift/black wheels, u could just stealth it up: Or camo:

Cheers guys, I am thinking NATO green in the long run, but will keep it white for now, may do the roof black soon though, got a set of Citroen Picasso rear seats to go in the front, £20 off eBay, so worth a punt, if they don't work its no great loss. Tempted to go LED lights as the current ones are ropey and maybe a tubular front bumper, though I quite like the look of it with no bumper on it.

not really anything major to show update wise, have sorted out a few of the niggles, main one being the indicators, when you indicated right just the front light worked and when you indicated left both rears came on...turned out to be wired up wrong at the back so the signal wire for the right indicator wasn't connected to the light, but the wire for the left one was, the rest of the issues were just earths, so easy to sort, then the headlights started to be a pain, near side would sometimes come on fine and sometimes be very dim, turned out to just be the switch, so got that sorted easy enough with a new one. The landy also came with newer doors with electric window motors and central locking, none of which had been wired up, so, a couple of switches and a few relays later and a bit of wiring run about and the windows were working and i ordered an alarm/imobiliser kit to control the door locks and got that all wired in too, with some lazy waterproofing... the truck also came with a DAB radio, but no speakers...so... and i now have Planet Rock in the truck also got sick of squinting when it was sunny, turns one Ford Capri visors bolt up...not ideal size wise...but hey, for free i am not complaining! and i wasnt happy with the number plate, so thought i would get a vinyl one and stick it on the near side vent flap...time will tell if i get pulled over or if it will go through an MOT... and a random pic from the other day because...well...why not!

led lamps are well worth fitting, though they do make the original sealed beam headlamps look very lame! fortunately theres plenty of good replacements available with standard h4 lamps.
hate the bloody bullet connectors they use on them, was working on a ten year old td5 recently and that still had them too!! if I ever have one myself I'd be chopping them all out for some superseal connectors.

yeah, i can see where youre coming from with the lights! i have found a set of more modern looking headlights that i may fit at the same time as the LED set up, modernise the whole lot! n yeah, the connectors are a load of rubbish! i have already replaced a few as i have been going along, and like you, plan on replacing them all with waterproof connectors
