All plastics masked off Neil, they will become satin black as will the roof and bumpers. Quite like the contrast of the tolimans, dont want completely military look but we'll see. |

Love the colour, the lowered stance and am very impressed by all the work you've done. Will be a unique military truck when you're done. Keep it up! |

Cheers, I know its never going to be everyones cup of tea but it requires no polishing and if it gets scratched I just touch it up as/when with paint costing £30 a gallon plus its going to turn heads wherever she goes. |

Hoping to achieve the following this weekend: fit the bumpers, bolt the wings down properly, fit the lamps, paint the wing mirrors, wiper arm and door handles, fit radio aerial fit my new 4 pot brakes and alloy wheels and a few other bits of trim etc. But its looking very good (IMO) with a satin black roof

Satin black for a bit of contrast, same as the mirror casings. |

Once it goes together a bit more tomorrow I think it will be transformed. The bumpers have been transformed by a dose of plastic primer and black paint. Thanks to all who are keeping up with this project, its reassuring to know its not just me who likes it :p |

Update: Brand new vacuum pump failed after 6 weeks on the road, the tracking which I forgot to get adjusted after the MOT meant its killes it front tyres and its deveoloped a very occasional hiccup but other that that its doing ok. |
