    So far there has been a lot more 'rolling' than 'restoration' in this rolling restoration.... I've knocked off both mirrors in separate incidents, the left mirror I ran over in the process:rolleyes: Doesnt matter though as they were two different types on either side.....:p:rolleyes:

    Also wired up a light bar for more traction when I get stuck in deep ruts... And a rear light too, just haven't wired it in yet.... The result of this and the thermatic fan set is that I have ended up with a bit of a mess heading to the battery, any ideas on how to fix this?

    It's got 1 hot dog silencer, and we cut some ugly restrictive repair bits out of the section b4 the Y, and then installed a 2.5" rear section that we had pre bent up.........so definitely not restrictive!!! That's the bit that gets me is that it decides to do it now......I could accept that the...

    @tomcat59alan - It had none in there:p just driving home from a swim....;) Funnily enough, that sunroof is brilliant at 100kph, less noise than when it is closed and probably similar amounts of air entering the vehicle:D:rolleyes::oops:
