Krzys Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Brilliant, I didn't even think of adding it to the GLE! Cool, I have a few leftovers from the previous M I had, doubt most of it is much use Resto sounds good, I started off like that, then I saw one thing at a bargain price, then another and spiralled into pit of modding and fighting failing parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiMU Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think I saw your one for sale. Looked an amazing example, howcomes you need to get rid?Yep, I'm used to the car money pit. I figure its my hobby and whilst I can still afford toys I will... plus its better than spending money on booze, gambling and other random stuff. Its a passion for all of us, I guess only petrol heads will get it. It's one of the reasons I started shooting car related videos - hat tipping to all the enthusiasts! Here's one video, a super low characterful Land Rover! Will do one for the Aerodeck once I'm happy with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It made way for the Type R! I fancied something a bit more relevant to my needs, still Honda but not slow! Cars will always be a hobby, as much as they annoy us at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiMU Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Love that Land Rover! Upsets the purist a lot though! So updated list: Parts needed: Drivers wing mirror - Awaiting delivery Passenger wing mirror glass Drivers side window rubber Front passenger window rubber Plastic cover under steering wheel - Now I can put things in the little drawer Middle vent - One new vents has just been mis-aligned but easy fix Armrest console - Needs to be fitted - can't get screws out... Saturday drill time possibly Grab handle screw covers x 3 Floor mats Rear load replacement carpet section Rear side covers Rear load cover New tyres x 4 (maybe!) New spare wheel tyre Tools New car key New alarm system or new fob Sun-roof rubber seal Original air filter box Front passenger lower fog light Passenger front headlight washer jet surround - Awaiting delivery Passenger upper wish bone I also took a pic of the bay as it stands at the moment. It's very dusty and paint is flaking away. The aircon has been disconnected and to be honest I've never used aircon in any other car... but debating on whether to stick it in. Makes me sad Saturday I'll cover all the necessary components and jet wash the B***H! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'll check my stash, may have a complete door mirror with glass intact! If it's just the glass you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Bay will look alot fresher with a clean chap! Rip the A/C out .. No-one needs it .. Except @Chandler as he wears shorts all year round and must get hot in the warmer day or two we have during the year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, that would be awesome. Yeah it's just the glass - the previous owner stuck an aftermarket one over the original and it enlarges everything, I already wear glasses as it is and this thing makes it feel like I'm looking through a telescope... or a sniper. Bay will look alot fresher with a clean chap! Rip the A/C out .. No-one needs it .. Except @Chandler as he wears shorts all year round and must get hot in the warmer day or two we have during the year It does looks like dirt and grime so should be cool - just wish it was warmer! A/C coming out then! Now that's tight! I guess the beard makes it more manly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
