Hooked man ! looking forward to see how t turns out to be.

Whats the purpose of the ropes from roof to bonnet? Are they to cut away foilage and bushes which can foul the windscreen? If so, how effective is such an attachment.

Not to cut. It's basically to slide away bigger branches up and above the roofline.

Allan,

Can you give more gyaan on how to calculate what gauge and diameter of pipes to use for the roll cage? Also are you cold bending the pipes?

I remember seeing her in action during the OTR. Was fabulous!

wow! hooked to the thread! Waiting for rest of the snaps.

Allan,
Wonderful piece. Waiting for the pics...

Near final pictures,
please excuse the little sanding job on the front bumper,
little customization required on the mud flaps as well

regards
Allan

Really liked the color on the Discovery.

Also the painted boards look better compared to the earlier Landy discovery.

agspins · 9th April 2010, 17:38

Amazing....excellent job Allan, she is a killer.Any mods in the engine?

Jaggu · 9th April 2010, 17:56

Superb finish as usual Allen. Love the matt finish, overall looks good, what are the mods to mechanicals (if any)?

vinod_nookala · 9th April 2010, 18:36

Wonderful Allan, exemplary job as usual!!

p.s i would have liked simpler looking headlights of older discovery.

HappyWheels · 9th April 2010, 19:49

Wow! A Camel Trophy LR!

Do you a video of the OTR you did with this beau?

The Exo-skeleton, snorkel and colour has turned out very good. Congrats on another excellent job.
