I saw it in his garage. This truck is sweet! I was getting depressed on my way home as I realized mine will never look that good :D

Nice job, Randy.

I really like the color, is that a standard Land Rover color? It looks very close to British Racing Green, which is the color of my MGB. You started your project last March? That is warp speed,, I started my rebuild in Dec 2005. I think I am about 50% complete so it is looking like a five year project.:rolleyes:

The color is Conisten Green (sp) its a d-90 color. My d-90 took me 2.5 years to build. THis one, I had almost all the parts before I started and my dad built the axles and a few other parts while I rebuilt the engine.. That saved some actual time... There are tons of hours in it though..

I got mine from a friend who imported it from the UK. I used a kit to install it.

The white trop top with alpine windows really finishes it off nicely. So I assume it has an exhaust system now? How is does she do rattling around town?

To reward him for a resto well done? Isn't him driving a good looking truck enough?

seriously though, it looks damn good.

Thanks guys.. The paint combo turned out really nice.

Who ever has a bag of money, I will build them a truck..... lol Oh and it does not have an exhaust yet. Running open header. It's actually not loud at all. I will be getting that done by a shop around the corner next week though.. still a bunch of small crap to do.. :D .

WHAT?

Yup... turbo diesels are not loud.. the turbo breaks up the noise before it is released... You can easily run no muffler and just straight pipes.. Lots of guys do..

I only live ten minutes away, what a small LR world....now where did I put my tow dolly again?

In all seriousness, niiice work. My truck is coming together too but not quite as fast as yours. I have been working on it since Oct 05 and its not as complete as yours. Congrats.

I live in Upper Saddle River, of course my Land Rover (in the almost two years I've had it) has never set foot in town.
