My SINDY range Rover WIP UPDATE 09/10/16

Thank You Kindly Good Sirs.

Capital Idea Dal on the Brass Strips.
Will look into that

cut down rope launcher trays with a strap added through the handhold

Awesome vehicle Andy and cheers for the idea there, Nice one

Nice job!

a great idea indeed , well done

Nice work again, Stonewall... Colour: definitely a mean naughty Satin black.


Nice set of wheels, Andy. Those Jerry Cans look like what I've got. The rubber caps are one of the hardest things to find, I still need one more, it's been 4 years now and still nothing.

Thanks Guys for the very kind words.

Clive the black does make it look mean, moreso with the Steel/silver add on foot plates, ladders.

Well looking for something I found something else (is it not always the case LOL), MAM Jeep Bullbar and ladders.

So removed the custom fitted bullbars I had previously installed onto the EXPLORER model and replaced the MAM ones, these once some modding work was done to fit.
The previous bullbars I then custom fitted to the COVERT OPS model.

EXPLORER


COVERT OPS


PAIR


As you know planned rear mounted ladders on the EXPLORER model. Well undecided now to stick with rear ladders or mod the MAM ones and mount on the side of the vehicle?
Waiting till the metal rack I have ordered arrives to be the roof rack. Then will decide properly upon that.

REAR Ladders


SIDE Ladders

ore terrific progress Jace!, The bull bars are inspired . I also like the additions of the ladders, both look good, but I guess, as you say when the roof rack arrives you can decide which model gets which!

Looking forward to future updates

Thank's Dal.

Yeah actually went looking for the MAM bullbars but couldn't find them so went with the other. Today as always suddenly find them HAHAHA

Do work so much better for the EXPLORER vehicle.

Well Goodies starting to arrive now YAY.

Metal Rack for the roof rack here and the LED Spot Lamps.

So Installed the Spot lamps to the front of the Rack


So a clearer image now of what I hope for.



Now to figure out attaching the roof rack to the roof HAHAHA

If anyone has an idea Please do pipe up.

BTW you like the footplate, Foot rest for the Shotgun rider??  Trying to capture something of the old Jeep with that one leg up resting kind of look.


As for the ladders, on a dry run, they both work so am now thinking BOTH! Plus side one adds extra technical support to the roof rack.

Now to fabricate some Snorkel exhausts to run from side of bonnet up the windshield arm.

Cool stuff! Can't wait to see it done!

looking great

Thank You for the very kind words of encouragement chaps, much appreciated.

With that UPDATE

"U" brackets arrived big Thanks to Voo Doo for that.

Also opted for BOTH ladders too. Not too much? Still making the snorkel and a few other bits whilst waiting for the wheels to arrive.

coming along leaps and bounds now mate!, loving the idea of the snorkel! It is going to look fab once the wheels arrive!

Seems the logical thing to Add to the Beast a Snorkel LOL

Thanks very much Dal, she does look a beauty already, be damn sexy all finished and tooled up.

Need to start on a female Explorer figure methinks for added Dal Blessings LOL

sounds good to me!

Well John Spartan popped down to see how his EXPLORER is coming along.

Updated John with Utility drop leg pouch (I actually use one of these myself), leatherman in pouch and of course Blackberry in pouch.



So the Drivers side.


Shotgun side


So overall John is Very Happy so far and fits him perfectly, though is hoping for a partner to explore with LOL

smashing stuff Jace! It really has been transferred into an all adventure/action vehicle mate!

Thanks Dal. Between your Landie custom and Voo Doo's amazing transformation of the Sindy RR. Had to step up the game to fit in with you guys.
As said before we all inspire the next to out do what we did.

If I had the RC know How, Believe me this would be getting that treatment too HAHAHA

lookin great

YAY Wheels for the Explorer have arrived. £15 from ebay but had to ait as in China.

Best part they are thicker than the ones Used for the Covert ops Range Rover too. However same style as Hollow Rubber wheels. So will have a nice look due to weight of kitted out vehicle on them (I hope).

Wow they sure look huge wheels, sweet.

AWESOME Jace!
