Hi all,
Here's the 1989 110 Safari I bought recently. As you can see it's in a bit of a state, but has been booked in for a full valet at a cost of five hundred and fifty quid next month. It should polish up fine because I tried some compound out on the 12 square inches you can see just above the nearside headlight and it came up shiny. I would have done more, but it was 24 degrees that day and I quickly became exhausted.
Anyway, my question is: what else can I do to boost its appearance? Bull bars? Bonnet mounted Spare wheel? A row of spotlights on the roof? An extra set of headlights? I'm clueless, so your assistance is required here.
Cheers,

For real £550 for a valet on an old Land Rover
If you want it shiny spend a fraction of that on a decent polisher and some cutting compound.

TV's Mythbusters proved it is possible to polish a turd, but a turd is still a turd even if there is a shine on the outside.
Checking and sorting any issues with chassis, bulkhead and running gear is what should come first.
