Thanks guys Taken it out a few times and have some good news!
Its much quieter with foam in (even thoiugh its at the back atm, not the front of the cab) so will be great I imagine once we finish putting the carpet in
Also my heater actually works! Once the engine warms up, its pretty toasty in there
Even though it looks finished, still have 1 or 2 jobs to do on it so as they say, watch this space

Right then, another little update tonight (If you thought it was finished, well you were wrong )
Been carpeting using carpet rights finest rubber backed carpet and made door cards using MDF hardboard. Seats are the ones from paddocks
12V charger
Speaker box
You may notice a lack of mudflap lettering once again, this is because the paint wouldnt actually go off even after a month So thats a job to be redone, got some other paint which should be better

looking great,
did you do the steering relay at some point, i remember reading a thread with it, but I've looked all over this one and can't find it mentioned.
I remember it being well written up so i assumed it was you

I did do the steering relay but forgot to take photos so just did a link to someone elses excellent thread over on the ollr forum:
How to rebuild a steering relay.
I have got a photo showing it stripped down though on here I think

looks really neat. in the end I used yellow plastidip for the flap lettering. It's like a rubber paint and so far it's remained flexible and no deterioration. The yellow is an accurate shade to original too

Thanks Land Raver, shall give that a go I think
Right then, a pic of the back with a more modern looking camera
Once the back was done, the front was started
Then the radio console was put in and the radio wired up. I decided to change the finish of the console to a matt black as I think it looks better and makes the slot a little less obvious
Got to do front doorcards, the front transmission cover piece thats currently red oxide in the pics, paint the 4wd plate black and touch up the levers and things and thats pretty much there then
Oh and yes you can here the radio over the engine, its marvellous, I think my Dads a bit green with envy with it (Wont be long before he gets a better unit in his 110
