be interesting to see how you get on with detailing the paintwork. My car is black and has swirl marks from the previous owner

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

most of it is probs on the verge of respraying. i will attempt to wet sand the whole lot and then polish back up to former glory.

if i go through the paint, then respray i shall .

its more of a learning curve, practice car to me

My Grandad knew someone who nicked all the parts to make a complete Land rover. That was many many years ago but still! How the f**k do you nick a shell & engine!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

nopes, someones had a fiddle with this one. AWD kit under it. theres only a handful of derv AWD x-types out there.

 

[Rob]

Great read so far, look forward to the rest!

 

[ado]

Wow. No wonder it was 500 quid.

Forklift a shell over the wall at CB. There are enough scrap sitting around. Or you can drive one of the pre productions and swap the wheels. No one will notice. lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

lol now thats an idea !
