Ah gotcha - that was a little obscure
I've just read this thread from the start. WOW JUST WOW!!
I hope you make loads of money out of your incredible skills!! Your really should be part of the development team at Land Rover!! This is an amazing project!
Any updates on this Dave?
@dave658 I am humbled, that is exemplary engineering. I remember being pleased as punch at teaching myself picbasic to build a transmission controller; but you have a whole plethora of controllers in there many of which make my transmission controller look like a cheap digital watch. It really is mind blowingly impressive engineering you are putting into this project which is a true inspiration.
I hope you dont mind me asking, but where are you getting your lights made/modded at as one of my projects is going to need some bespoke back light clusters made for it and your lights look OE build quality which is the fit and finish I'm pursuing on this other vehicle.
You know me so well.If this was @tomcat59alan s thread then I'd venture he was deliberately keeping us in suspenders,
C'mon @dave658 , update time!
No-one is more frustrated than me to be honest. She has been in the paint shop since the end of last year, where a combination of her sheer size and the fact that she's being fixed up on "mates rates" mean that I constantly get bumped by "real jobs". It's frustrating for me, because while she's there, I cant really do any work on her, and every weekend feels wasted. I've been consoling my self with some mods and updates to my daily drive, but I need her back so I can get her finished !If this was @tomcat59alan s thread then I'd venture he was deliberately keeping us in suspenders,
C'mon @dave658 , update time!
So I pointed out that if he does the work soon it is a win-win for us both !
fingers crossed !
Yeah, but there's never one around when you need one !Sometimes it does take a rocket scientist...
I haven't done an update for a while, and as I finally got glass in the monster today, I thought I would add some pics
All the back windows are blacked-out limo glass, which I think looks good in the colour scheme, the fronts are of course a much gentler shade which looks a little odd, but keeps the police happy !
The windscreen is of course not tinted, but is heated - must get around to painting the headlight trim and bumper caps at some point ! I have a new and rather special grille to go on at some point too, but I'll save that for a later update
Another side view, there are new wheels to come of course, but again, more on that later
And the back, the registration is not valid any more of course as DVLA have deemed that she is going to be Q reg, and the rear light clusters are out, as they are currently being modded, again something really special coming in a future update !
So now she is water-tight ! this is a major milestone and means I can work on the interior even if it's raining ! I'm expecting to seriously accelerate progress now !
