inclinometer ?

They are only the right way up once they have rolled over.....


Good effort on the REME capbadge

I like your ariel mount on the spare wheel seen similar ones on eBay, I think I'm going to have a crack at making one on my day off. Nice looking car you got.

looks a bit taller than them - is it home made?

Nah its the one of fleabay. Much better than the one I made earlier!!! Could do with a little "finishing" like rounding of the corners of the ground plate but thats just being fussy!! Easy to run the cable through door and to the front too.

Do you get a good earth from it?

Yes you do, it comes primed but just get a dremmel on it and grind the primer off where the earth ring goes and excellent reception. Im in Cardiff and can sometimes pick up Bridgwater/Western Supermare etc Ive never had a problem with it

So had a bit of free time so I figured I would have a crack at fitting the nudge bar I got off eBay, I will be honest it was a right pain in the arse, had to remove the front bumper, make up some brackets from some old steel i had lying around, drill holes in the front bar to mount them, re position the number plate as it did not sit right but got there in the end, now I have to take it all apart and get the nudge bar painted.

A shot of the brackets,



And the nudge bar in position

Oh and forgot to add mounted a little bracket for the cb mic to sit in, ordered some seat covers from eBay (DPM pattern) will post pics when they arrive.

Thank you, there is plenty more to come!

Sanded down the old nudgebar this morning and gave it it's first coat of paint, think i will need around 2-3 coats for a nice finish. Looks a million times better with just one coat.

Looking good

Looks good, matching rock slides would look good

yu gorra have one of these....

Errrrr maby not.......

........... nudge bar looks great, but found the upgrade for you!

Would complete the whole package

Had some bits arrive in the post today, seat covers from eBay, very happy with the quality and they fit well.....



And the cb ariel mount also from eBay, again very happy with the quality, and sits high enough that it won't catch when I switch the tyres to bf goodrich.



And a nice little sticker for the rear window...



The antenna for the cb should arrive tomorrow so will update then.

Cv antenna arrived today, will be running the cable at the weekend but could not resist bolting it on, she's looking well!
