Very cool mate, how much did the body set you back... or shouldn't I ask!

No problem mate, the body was a snip at £400 plus £130 delivery. I'm trying to keep my build to sensible money. The only real costly thing so far was the galvanised bulkhead. The next horrific and hopefully last major expense will be the seats! I've kind of fallen for the Exmore trim diamond xs seats, but still trying to justify them to myself! ;)

I'm half way through building mine, good idea to save money on seats is to go to an old breakers yard and find some seats you like off almost anything and fix some sliders to them for a landy. Get them relined and they will look smart. I have done that with mine and with the rear bench and am very happy. Not quite Exmore seats though.

Thanks, that's not a bad idea! What seats have you put in yours?

Not entirely sure! The bench is from another 110 and then the seats where not in a car - but they are from another 4x4 and are super comfy and take the shock of offroading really well, which is important to me as on African roads you may as well be offroading always!

Depends what you will use yours for, comfy seats are important if your going to be flying down hills and into rivers.

True, I'm doing mine as a bit a beauty queen to be honest :) once it's done I will build an off roader, but the plan is to have it as an everyday vehicle :)

First 3rd of the chassis done! I used the wire brush attachment and a drill and so far it has had 2 coats of hammerite smooth spray paint.
 
All the body panels turned up today, with some very nice extras !
I got free seat belts, headlining, seats, interior window surrounds and door cards! It never normally works like that!
