The old girl has been treated to a bit of pampering and a facelift......

All I can say is that I am more than happy with the end result.

From this.....



Albeit it was much more beat up than that as the picture above was when I first purchased her. Lately all the doors were rotten and required replacement. Now fitted with fully steel doors and skins all marine bonded and galvanised. She should last me well now.

Very nice. I dare not ask the price of the steel doors. Will they be alot heavier than standard?

Sorry to be honest but looks wise! I preferred it before. But I dare say the work that's been done will keep it on the road for a lot longer and that's good to here

Looked like a good but old landy before looks 20 years newer now ! Good job

Who ever put the 'one life live it' sticker on wants their nuts pulling off and attaching to the towing hitch

Like the rock/treesliders and the change of decals, dislike the black roof ..

Very nice though ..

Agreed. I don't dislike the new look, nice job, I just prefer the classic look and I think the classic decals will become more desirable as more old Landies get ' modernised '.
In reality I'm just jealous really!

My missus got me a "one life, live it" t-shirt for Fathers' Day because "all Land Rover drivers like that!".
I'm going to have to wear the damn thing eventually as she's getting suspicious that I don't like it.

I got the tee shirt that reads " The Original Search Engine", doesn't fit any more.

Not if it's hoped it'll outlast the day it won't

Not a bad idea, I do need to change the engine oil soon. It would be a real pity if the sump plug shot off and covered the shirt in oil, ruining it.
Knowing my missus, she's already bought a spare one because I've told her it's my favourite shirt and I don't want to get it dirty.
