Thanks. The only place it doesn't leak is the rear tub. If i leave it facing downhill in heavy rain I end up with a tub full of water.
I did think of installing an immersion heater and having a mobile hot tub.
Next thing is a cover for the rear, maybe with a cut down roof rack so things can just be lashed to it?
It's only taken about 4 years!
 
Looks good, going to be doing this to mine station wagon soon, did you use a genuine double cab roof or the fibreglass rear section?
 
Wow I didn't know Noel Edmonds drove a Landy!
If I had his money, I wouldnt have spent 4 years building a Landie....


Re the roof
I started with a fibreglass rear section but a genuine one came up at a decent price so I swapped. (still have the old one if anyone's interested)
I've fitted newer doors with central locking and electric windows, mud console, new stereo(which came with a remote control? why? It's not as if the bloody thing's miles away)
Still got a few bits to do to the inside, like wiring up the spotlights, getting the wipers to work when and how I want, rather than when and how they feel like, fit the seats in the back
Here's a couple more pics

The anderson connectors on the bulkhead are probably not going to stay. I thought it might have been a good idea at the time, but now I'm not too sure!

I have got a matching spare wheel to go on when time allows.

Another thing I'm going to add is a heated windscreen for those cold mornings that are on the way. In fact I really fancy fitting a remote enginge start so it's nice and toasty when I have to go to work about 4am, but that would probably **** the neighbours off.
