Yep, yours looks like a real "silver" colour...as opposed to the Blenheim that looks like it's got a bit of Pilbara red dirt mixed through it...like this:

Can you get some touch up paint maybe to match yours?

you're kinda right there. I've traced mine (well at least the cab, the chassis now is a HQ Holden setup) back to being a working towtruck from near Ballarat. It's not in the best shape, but I guess thats the fun of it. It'll take me a while to get done as I'm up to my neck in a turbo Falcon project right now, but I really dig the Stude. Can't wiat to drive it one day
I've put some pictures of my Discovery in a collection here and will update from time to time. Some you have seen before:

Nice one Munners.....and welcome to the forum:)
CHEERS TIM.
:wub:
That is a serious bit of kit...very nice, great looking D3!
Any opinion between the LR OE Snorkel and the after market (? Safari)?
Peter
Just picked this one up on Friday afternoon, cant wait to get it dirty:)
Anyone looking for a Series II V8?

the D3's always look better dirty :) nice to see it gets used
Cant comment on the "snorkels" - seems most comments over on disco3.co.uk are that the Land Rover "raised air intake" is just that - and NOT a waterproof snorkel. It certainly was brillinat on recent Red Centre trip - the air filter was fine after 4500kms off road which is remarkable. I havent done any water crossings but have been told the entry in the body work on the LR RAI is NOT waterproof.
I can say the Long Ranger tank is excellent as is teh Opp Lock rear wheel carrier.
This is my first Land Rover believe it or not - wow, what an incredible car. I cant imagine anything better at what its designed to do and I am SOOO glad I didnt follow so many others into a Prado; I dont doubt they are very good but the air suspenion on this D3 is incredible. It has to be the most comfortable 4wd on the market on serious corrugated roads ( a la Finke to Chambers Pillar!!!!).
The Kimberley Kamper we hired was also Brilliant; I was amazed at how well it towed; worth every cent I suspect (I know they are $$$ but having towed it I understand why!).
