Excellent job mate. Now I don't think I'll bother finishing mine. It's been on the back burner for 2 years now and I lost interest.
Tell me, what's it like with the weight being infront of the wheels? Does it have a tendency to over/understeer round corners ? As I never finished mine I never got the chance to find out.
Now I don't know whether to dig mine out and finish it, or put in an order with your good self. LOL !!

Had been posting on the Modified Hippo thread but think this deserves its own thread now.
Have got the prototype winch bracket powder coated & mounted, tested it by pulling my old manual Freelander ( which hasnt moved since I broke my leg 3 years ago ), out of the ruts it has made in the front grass !!, brakes were siezed on but the winch & winch bumber coped ok.
Heres a few pictures below, got a couple of days work left but it alls coming together nicely.

This was the first test with bumper removed
