Just to let you all know how its going.
Steering guard is in the post. The rover is going in to the welders tomorrow to get a couple of points done on the bulkhead. I have not yet ordered the lift kit but it will probably be from paddock and a 2" lift, britpart springs and pro-comp shocks with brake hoses and turret mounts. I have got the tyres now and they will go on when it has been lifted (and i got my friendly garage to give me a hand) (FOR FREE
)!!! I will get the snorkel as you say razman, £140 can't be bad so i will order it today. As for the spray job well, i am a pilot and my helicopters (AS350BB Squirrel HT.1, ZJ259) at the moment are black and yellow; so i can also get hold of the paint too so that will be that.
I have also just bought a winch bumper for £40, that i spotted lying in a corner of the garage and the LRO guy who oned it just wanted rid....so i picked it up for a pretty penny.
Finally i have now enlarged my budget to get a winch......as you say champion will probably be the best so i have incorporated it into the final costings analysis. Here is the breakdown....tell me what you think:
Bumper (second hand) : £40
Winch (Champion): £470
Tyres (Second hand) : £50
2" lift kit (prob. from Paddock but which one i am not sure) : £ 200 - 400.
Steering Guard (Craig [RAZ8550TDI]): £ 79 <- Good bloke to know
Diff Guard (Frogs Island) : £ 47
Safari Snorkel : £140
Rock Sliders (Online) : £150
Paint Job (By myself): TBC
TOTAL : £1340 inc. VAT.......NOT BAD.....only £340 over my budget.
Its going to be great!!
