Apparently THIS is the Santana 'replacement'..... now called the Iveco Massif There is a thread on Mud club HERE, Not too sure on the graphics down the side but it looks like a nice vehicle for work, would certainly be more preferable than the old hilux (with NO windows and only 1 door ) that we have on the farm!!

Its a Santana PS10/Anibal I think this is the one they used for the tv series

There was a guy on ebay selling fibreglass bonnets/panels recently, didnt see 07 bonnets (and he has no adverts on there now) I think he was down in somerset direction, they seemed very reasonable too. Althernatively, maybe this? Fibreglass bonnet Also, in November LRW (page 107) is a company advertising a 'B-tec bonnet' which i would imagine is fibreglass, it looks hidious IMO it has a HUGE bulge/air intake in the middle of the bonnet, but it may be to some peoples liking. I ll try to find some pictures of it (havent got a scanner)

Can i reserve a place please, it ll spur me on to get my 90 back on the road!

Do you have any photos you can post up? A few more detailed shots?

Well i bagged a bargain! (in my eyes!!)........... £90 for a Tubela tube bender and full set of formers

I called up about the price..... £355 Apparently the firstset the sold, the guy rang up and said he had them fitted in 40 minutes!!

Just seen these, thought they may be of use to people Wing bars

A BIG thankyou to Nigel (hybrid_from_hell) for bending the tube on sunday for me, very kind. Have pm'ed White90 regarding forum donation. Thanks for the generous offers of help everyone!

Coastcard, i called in there yesterday afternoon, the guy he uses is currently involved in court case! ltwt1981, i may have it sorted by sunday thanks

Mr HFH, pm'ed back, Russ, I was hoping for blue band really, but may be interested if all else fails. landrover598, thanks, swansea is probably a bit far for me, i only have the works van and am meant to be staying 'local' with it Thanks for the kind offers

4 minutes to get a helpful responce, this forum is GOOD!! Al, thanks, I may be in touch if all other routes fail, cheers!

mods please feel free to move this to the appropriate place... Does anyone in the south east (sussex/surrey/hampshire) have a spare bit of blue band tubing, a tube bender, and a bit of spare time? I am after a piece of blue band bent to the sizeof a defender 'a bar' with the dimensions below.. The thing is i need it asap!! Is anyone able to help? Good money paid! Toby

Anygood? I cant remember where i saved these from Does anyone else have a huge photo 'archive'? or is it just me?

I only bought the bent rear hoop, cross brace and the rear stays, all in cds.... i think i paid somewhere near £150-£180 The cage pictured above is the competition cage for D4x4 which, ready to weld, is £ 899.00 ex VAT according to their website

In terms of fit, this has to be up there with the best surely?! Protection and Performance, i have just bought the rear hoop and stays, just need to weld them up and get a front hoop

Having lost young friends a few years back in an accident on the outskirts of horsham in a freelander, its hard to find the (correct) words to type, there will be lots of questions that can never be answered, but knowing people are thinking of you is a comfort. I pray the people involved can find comfort and 'heal' in the quickest way possible

Pictures from the first hour today....... Camera batteries died after that

As the title says really.... Can you post up pictures of your rear winch mounts (replacement rear crossmembers etc) and the advantages/problems/different approaches etc I have read about the various versions that Hybrid from hell made, and the problems/solutuions, the initial mount looked good to me but still had problems, whereas other people seem to just weld a plate between the chassis rails and get away with it!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sankey-1-Ton-Bridgin...Item"] This://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sankey-1-Ton-...tem"] This seems like it would make a good base for a camping trailer. I dont know whether the track width is different but the extra chassis length would be useful space to have

There is lots of talk about 'stiffling' the development of the vehicles and how offroading needs to move forward, but would the 'super-dooper, all singing, unrestricted non-road legal vehicles' actually stop the competitions advancing?! Bear with me please! I am not very good with words and it'll probably not come out how i mean A while back on d4x4 there was a discussion regarding the future of uk events (not the vehicles), if i remember correctly it was discussing how the uk is being left behind in terms of decent events, there was also discussion about a 5 day (or certainly a longer) event. If people are travelling abroad to events such as RFC/ladoga/croatia trophy etc which are a longer 'tougher' events then surely there must be a market for a longer event in the uk? Obviously there are other attractions to going abroad... Sights/location/the sheer hell of it/locals/local beverages However the uk doesnt have the space like lots of other countries (i know i wouldnt like to spend X amount of days driving around in the same quarry), even the spaces we ARE aloowed to use are becoming more restricted If we allow vehicles to not be road legal then are we restricting the events themselves? There cant be many sites in the uk that could be home to a longer event due to size surely? The terrain of some events (ladoga?) vary vastly, is there a site in the uk that has all these different terrains? If we were to have an event to compete with some of the 'big' events then we need to offer the space and the varied terrain.... To do this (i have finally reached my point! ) then i think the only real way to do this is to use multiple sites.... for which there would need to be road sections. Personally i reckon that all competing vehicles should all be road legal. There is a lot of enjoyment in building and developing a conpetition car, finding new ways to overcome a problem/situation. Can 'keeping it road legal' not be added to that? trying to find a solution as to how to achieve what you want and be MOTed? I know it is hassle though. Sorry to deviate slightly off-topic, i hope you all see the point i am trying to make... even if it isnt very clear

Have you seen this Trailer? There arent many detail about it

Foley maybe?? I cant see anything like you describe on their website but they have built some big campers in the past. Didnt they build that huge yellow 6x6 camper that the vets crashed/rolled in africa on a bbc programme? edited to answer myself! This one
