Hi all.
Finally my wodden bed is finished, still need to do some side panels and the rear.

Looks very neat but its not for off road use is it?

#6 by Yoda , Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:17 pm

Oooh I like that! Very retro. Keep us updated with progress. Very impressed......

@Danne
No it's not, I just use it as a everyday car.
Had to change it, as the original was rusted away.

Do you have to do anything with insurance ??

I have thought about doing it to mine

#9 by Xroads , Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:40 pm

In Denmark you don't have to do anything insurance related, In UK I really don't know.

#10 by Yoda , Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:49 pm

WOW! Even for power mods?

#11 by Xroads , Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:56 pm

Ahm - no it was only related to the bed.
Any other modifications there are strickt rules about. power increase is max. 20%

In the UK we must comply to the Construction & Use Regulations, with regards to vehicles... a set of standards for road going vehicles, Issued by the Government.

Not too sure about the chequer plate rear lights holder.... but other than that, I like that a lot.

It must be do-able with an insurance hit as it's becoming quite a popular mod for LR owners with a truckcab.

Looks good, makes a useful vehicle without the wheel arches in the way.

XRoads, excellent job mate, while it ws all off you should have fitted a tipping mechanism to it...

Cor that would be the best!

#17 by Xroads , Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:30 pm

Yes that would have been cool, maybe next time.

Sorry xroads , dont like it nothing personal !!
doing mods is all about the usability and weather YOU like it or not

#19 by Stick , Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:32 pm

It would pass an MOT providing all the lights worked as they should.

Don't be, if we all liked the same, the world would be a very boring place.

#21 by ebony266 , Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:34 pm

TRUE DAT !!!!

#22 by Xroads , Wed Aug 08, 2012 7:35 pm

For the time being all the lights are working, but only with the engine running.
But this will be solved, probably this weekend.
