Thread: Progress Photos

I picked up the dash today and wow it is amazing the guy did a fantastic job and it didn't cost the earth. I will post some pics when the light is better.

I guess I should have expected to have a new car but I really didn't think it would drive as well as it does. I think this is what it would have felt like when they were new and they were brought home for the first time, so tight and smooth yes even for a diesel and a fantastic brake pedal, anyway I will shut up now here are some pics.

What an absolutely lovely restoration! Top job cobber!

It is work like this, to what otherwise would be a pretty ordinary car, that is a tremendous inspiration to Land Rover lovers.

Easily the most delightful S3 I have ever seen - I only wish I could see it in person,

I am getting considerable pressure from the boss not to paint the sides of my tray body colour. It does seem a shame to cover that lovely grey iron bark but that is how it was when it left the factory.

Nope, I'm with your boss. The wood looks too good to paint. Oil it up nicely so it has a lovely colour and it will last as long as paint.

Yep I'm with him^^^^^ Leave it ala-Natural.................apart from a lite oil.

Looking good. I wouldn't paint the sides either.

IMHO it looks better without the tray sides on anyway - you could always take it to shows as a flat bed w no sides.
