Stellaghost Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 You drift away, good to see the pictures, did you widen the roof only to fit or did you widen all aspects of the landrover regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Stephen , I posted at the same time . Ergonomics , pure and simple also combining what I feel are the best bits of LR . The very first time I sat in a RRC the ergonomics of the Series and then ( worse ) the 90/110 really bugged me . It took a lot of years to get to the right time with the right plan to do it Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
