It was originally build as a trialer in 1999
Originally looked like this. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360349413.671497.jpg

It's a 3.5 v8. All seems there and to work ok. Just gotta to deside what to do now. I had either thought about trying some ccvt events but don't really know allot about them.

Or I might just adapt it a little to use on pay and plays and the like.

Some bits are a little ugly but should be a good bit of fun to make it to my taste.

Any suggestions or feedback greatfully recieved
 
Despite what the others have said, I'd paint it .. looks feckin' awful .. sorry!

I'd have to agree with ya there mate I think it needs to be black or very dark grey. That is near the top of the to do list.
 
You can make a realy nice landy out of that,but as it stands that is one of the ugliest ones I've seen. I would get a tomcat bonnet for it straight away and put the front lights back to a more standard look. I bet it sounds lovely:)

+1 bowler bonnet and change the back. Sloped down not spoiler and it'll be nice
 
I'm thinking or taking the rear section off and just having it like the pics of when built. Just the roll bar visible almost make it like a truck cab. I know what u mean about the bonnet it's not a pretty thing. Lol
I'm trying to find a cheap set of defender headlight surrounds and a grill to try on the front to hopefully tidy that up a little.
