    mil to civvy landy

    Looks alright that does mate. Dont see them in that colour too much. Or as a matter of fact see a Civvy on a 1984 B reg plate but most military 109s are? Personally I'd strip the black paint from the cappings, if they are military they should be prestine beneith the paint work!. Looks good...

    truck cab conversion

    Easy Mod, Bear in mind normally for a 88 inch landy you would need a "Spacer plate" On the 109 you don't need this plate, Although if you get one thrown in its worth Keeping as they are becoming rarer by the day!
