Hello from Muddy Funkster

Great site you have here folks,

I am currently building a Dakar with a some help from Dakar 4x4 - Index page

Stated mid may by cutting up a MOT failed 1993 Discovery I V8 EFI (sorry, but it will live again!)

Hope to finish by Christmas

The Kawazaki Green looks great! You cant have a truck like this that is not in a lurid colour!

To be fair, the photos are terrible and dont do it justice.

Hi all,

Just in time for christmas my Dakar is finally on the road. I still cant believe it!

I cant believe I have actually built something that looks so great! Still several bits to do like
make a back seat, and find some driving lights, etc etc etc but at least I can join in with
the Dakar smile I feel like an A list celeb now, as I've had so many people point a
camera at me!

Today I have been playing with the Koni Heavy Track adjustable dampers today as I had
guessed the set up and got the back too stiff, any advice welcome. I also spent ages
fighting the good fight to getting a head unit in the stupid 200 series center console!
(How the hell did that dash win a design award?)

Many thanks to all those that helped in the build, Steve, Jason, Tori and Marcus.

Ill try and post a photo,

Merry Christmas
Simon

P.S. What do you all think of the new crystal headlights?

Well done!
Still hate the colour though!
