Excellent! :) Not really surprised, she always looks fine when I have looked under, and you look after her, which is the main thing.

Spider season this side as well, keep on getting the webs in my face about the place! :(
 
I have found myself in the nice position of having a little spare money before the wedding, :shock: and I might go for some bits for the series. I was thinking about a CB radio, are you guys using one at all? Mobile reception isn't always the best and Im curious as to if there is any point from a cornwall point of view?

I don't, Martyn doesn't, Muds does. I think.
As you know, its usually just us, and we stay in sight of each other most of the time, so it would be of limited use. Sure you could find more urgent areas for investment on yer series. Tyres? New shocks? Cubby box? :)

As soon as I wrote about it, i realised my money would be better invested elsewhere, like a wright off road kit sound proofing system, Ive want to put a gloss paint finish on which has all just been ordered. A nice deep bronze green :)

Sound proofing is always a sound investment in a series! :D
Bronze green is nice, probably my favourite lr colour! :)

Yeah and it makes the interior 100% smarter, i have been thinking about colours a lot and decided that it looks best for minimal amount of work, the paintwork is already matt green so should be easy to sand back by hand and use as a base coat for some tekaloid.

Good! Sounds nice, although I don't know what tekaloid is! Got a nice tin of eighties Dulux gloss in the cupboard to paint my Ninety with when I get round to it! :D Packed with banned solvents! ;) :eek: :D

This is apparently the kind of finish that can be had with tekaloid, its meant to be hard wearing but I wont be getting upset if it does get scratched.
 
I do have a cb which I only finished fitting this morning it's quite a old one but works ok been picking people up from about 7-8 miles away all day. I had all the bits from years ago when I used to do it at home I like bronze green too. However I don't think that picture has the just hand painted look that's been sanded and machine polished.
