Yeah the white would be cool but maybe a pain to maintain?

If you do go down the NATO route, use satin rather than matt - it doesn't hold the dirty so easy so fades less

Bix, winterised and winterised wader variants didn't have 2 piece doors and were factory fitted with 1 piece. in the photo below you can still make out the UN markings under the layers of paint.

Must be before my time, the Winterised vehicle we have in fleet still has 2 piece doors. Unless they have been changed at a later date? ah well. Good luck with the rest of your build/getting it painted.

I think the newer winterised wolfs are 2 peice, thankyou Bix

Got an absolute bargain on eBay someone had priced an escape hatch wrong so I bought and they honoured it, they even delivered it themselves win-win it's the newer version with a slightly different latch but oh well.
With the wet horrible weather set in I've been finishing off the interior in

Loving it... I see Withams still has some of these for sale in the auctions. All low mileage but all look like multiple dunks in the sea which has caused no end of rusting.

Hi guys sorry for the blackout, I havnt been ignoring you honestly. To be honest I tried to have this MOT'd about march but then work and the uni course they sent me on got in the way. but shortly before MOT I took it for a quick drive up the street with almost no brakes, while driving lots of little electrical gremlins reared there head so I need to sort them. the brakes refuse to bleed I've put about 5 litres through the system now to no avail so I'm going to replace the master cylinder and go from there. Other than that it needs a lick of paint and it's almost there!
