Hi everyone,
I've been reading the forum amongst others for quite some time now and decided I would finally join up as this seems to be one of the better forums.
I recently bought a monza red 300tdi disco xs and spent a few weeks putting new sills in (rectangular hollow section) with help from a few friends.
The car just gets used as a family wagon at the moment as it only has road tires on, but as soon as I can afford to get some More useful tyres I'll be taking over the farms as a shooting truck.
So far I've done very little fun stuff to it, I've got a nice brownchurch roof rack from a defender, though I had to cut it down quite a bit..
I've added a nice little 10w led lamp on the rear with another arriving in the post soon I hope and a couple of hella lamps on the front of the rack that need wiring.
I'm currently plumbing in an oil conversion and I'm about half way there, I just need a clear day to whip off all the derv pipes to rig up the 6 way valve and then I'll be ...cooking
I would like to get into some landing around my area, (Taunton, Somerset) but I know there isn't a great deal around here. I'll need to do a few more mods first I think, like the tyres and some recovery points, but all in a discreet ish sort of way so the wife doesn't go mental...
So that's me in a small nutshell... The name's Fred by the way
I'll be boring the tits off he regulars shortly with the usual set of newbie questions, so look out and get ready to tell me to do a search.... :doh:
