Any time is a good time too hack off the barrel....

And you can shove it up your sleeve buddy..

The bullock..I mean boltlock is working..


Enough hijack:
Hi, Jack:

Have you decided on a colour or color yet?
( depending on American or English spelling)

As we are discussing vehicle-hobbies that go at the expense of spudding:
I contacted the Chinese manufacturer of these:



I'm quite satisfied with the 4 stroke engines they make, but a "chopper" style scooter would offer me more style..
Maybe I can finally get something out of owning a business..
They can't be too expensive...

Seems like a fun project.
I got all the tools I need to take off all the unnessecary bits and a fresh spraycan of flat black paint..

Given your big frame, wouldn't it look a little silly?

As to colour, I'm going for something vaguely like this, tan/sand sort of colour:

Yep...

That's the idea..

Oh darn..you're going for a sellable look..

I was hoping for flat black...

You are too sensible..

Well I would eventually like to sell it and buy a Defender, so yeah

You left us for that? Hmm needs more epoxy! Just kidding looks great, glad to see that you've kept your word about fixing it up. Although i will be waiting from when you get so bored with it that you turn it into a super jeep

Here you go, painted the lettering on the radiator grille silver and poured some on to finish it off, looks great

Wow that does look really nice. This gives me a very pointless idea of dying my epoxy to different colors just for eye appeal. What did you use as a mold for the epoxy?

Mr.Sandman wrote:What did you use as a mold for the epoxy?

In this case, the area where I poured it is recessed so no need for a mould, it's just a question of filling in

Wow those letters look good. Now people can tell its a Jeep from miles away!

yeah I must say that this is the best jeep I've seen here

Steves.

The lot of you!



Replaced the feeble old headlamps with H4 halogens, you can hear the *FOOM* when I flick the light switch now

I've got an item that would look right at home mounted on a pedestal in the bed of that vehicle. Your neighbors would be quite impressed!

Eventually I'd like to fit an onboard compressor and something of the sort

I doubt it, they aren't too happy about all that oil on the road... I just tell them it's marking its territory

Landrover tip: if it stopped leaking, it needs to be topped up

Hey that looks awesome JSR!!
