well i bought me'sen a 110 csw that was tax'd and mot'd for 12 months the other week for the princely sum of £1800 notes.
Its in really dodgy camo paint - half gloss?!!!!! the rear crossmember is probably going to watch replacing at some point next year, the brakes are eerrr... interesting ? (politically correct for scary as hell) and the p.o spaz has put a 4" lift on it without updating the radius arms or propshafts.
since buying it i have :-
fitted smart car leather front seats
replaced the low back 2nd row seats with high backs.
installed a laycorn storage box in the back
installed a rear bench seat and seatbelts
roof rack ladder
8" hid spotlights
winch bumper
13,000 winch with synth rope (need to wire it up yet)
replaced the horrible bonnet with a gloss back one
fitted a freelander door pocket to the back door!
change a broken drive flange
33" x 12.50 dynapro mt's fitted
most importantly got rid of the god awful welsh flags on the numberplates!
Ive just gone and blown £390 on a new top o' the line front propshaft double cardon extreme wotsit to minimise the vibration coming off the front.
after that its a paint job to remove the horrid camo paint - going gloss navy blue with white challenge wheels and white roof.

- also got another 3 smart car seats to replace the 2nd row seats
- the fuel pump needs tweaking as its properly gutless! and i have a load of replacement 4 ply silicone pipe to replace the boost pipework.
- got an rtc damper to go on the front
- tubular front turrets and big bore shocks to go on allround
- rear view camera setup on the shelf ready to go in
- 50" led lightbar to go on the front
- led reversing, side, brake and indicator lights to go on
- wide arches
- heated fuel filter to go on and twin fuel tank for svo.
- need to replace the vacuum pump for the brake system - current one seems to be unable to generate sufficient vacuum when in comparison to the one of my other 200tdi.
- got some tube on order to make some additional supports for the tombraider sidesteps i had the other day, only 1 set of brackets were included and they dont like it up em'
- picked up some foil bound foam the other day from lidl which i will start adding to certain areas to insulate it and then add some dynamat over the top for noise insulation.
