Looks good mate although I quite like the round lights

Hows the engine now its been fixed, all good I hope. Definitely had the weather to have fun in this and hence why my car is still in the garage in bits

Yeah, it's a 50/50 thing really in the Pajero scene. Some say that it's nice and original and others say it looks dated.

However I rather have lights that actually project rather than glow.

It's running good thanks, such an awesome thing. Nothing seems to get in the way to stop it

and it's great that it's an all year vehicle.

I`m glad you have been re-united mate!:thumbs: I bet youv`e felt smug ploughing through the snow this last week?

Cheers Russ

Yeah I do feel pretty smug mate, nothing stops me from getting to where I need to go

Okay, so the deal for the roof crate fell through. Bollocks. But again, I found this little beauty, all brand new and you have to assemble it. Which is right up my street

It's the perfect size and fills up the entire roof nicely. But again, I have to make custom mounts because I have a gay roof.

But the other added bonus is that I can also mount on there;
spotlamps (Tonys)
recovery strobes (rear) (enroute through post)
two square compact work lights (rear)
two compact oblong work lights (sides)
CB aerial
GPS receiver

A quick mental imaged sketched out;

Coming along nicely

EDIT: Mirrors have arrived

need a clean, t-cut on one and a light lacquer peel attention to the other then they're good to go on.

As you can see too, I have my black film for the rear window.

This is the template I've drawn up which will allow me to do it right first time

And mounted on the light for trial fitting;

Perfect bitches

can't you just get a front panel out of one with square lights

Lots of hasstle mate. A. It's finding a decent panel (which I know you have

) but then me personally would want to paint it white to match in. Then it's disassembly of the front off mine, jigging and aligning the panel + bonnet latch. Then reassembly, just quicker to cut the shape out and slap the lights in.

Managed to overhaul the mirrors this morning, and what a difference from before and after.

so much shit, scuffs and moss before. Now they shine!

And the lacquer peel that was on this one, has virtually disappeared with t-cutting and polishing

How close to Norwich do you work Dan? I've got to go for a work and pensions medical Thursday afternoon and wondered if it's worth bring the lights over.
