I have been watching them during their trip back when they were on the road. Thanks for the link anyway.

I have been away on holiday for a few weeks but there is a bit of progress. We did start her up for the first time which was pretty exciting. Got the overhead locker finished too.
In the second video you can also see the interesting map lights, safe to say i did not know they did that when I bought them!

We are getting close now!
I drove it for the first time last week (a total of about 6m as I haven't sorted the air filter yet). Starting to get very excited!

A few more update photos:

One of the nicest builds I've seen of a very unique vehicle! Is that paint a factory color or custom?

I wish I had half of the skills you have!!!!!!! What an awesome project, looks GREAT!

Thanks guys, I wish I could claim it all as my own but sadly not, a lot of the fabrication and all off the cabinetry have been made by others with a lot more skill than me!

The colour we painted it is 'limestone' a series land rover option.

Here are a couple more photos, finally we have a door and the trim around the entrance to the back is done.

The old girl is booked in for mod plates and roadworthy next week. Only a few minor things to sort now!

And a flashback to when I bought it!
