Don't start him off, Paul. He's as mad as we are.

Arguable statement there, Mark!Dave
Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I wasn't sure about the orange but they look really good, black & red would be (are) more to my taste but each to his own.
Very impressed.

If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning

Not sure now they're back in the car 
Maybe you need to change the red switchgear and trim to something more contemporary now ?
Quality of the work looks good though. I'd like to see it firsthand - will it be gracing the carpark at Donington ?

I think it looks great, colours are very subjective and look forward to seeing it in Belgium

From Paul's earlier comment about the colour, I don't think the lighting is showing off its true colour.

Yep. Paul & I should be joining the M1 convoy earlier in the morning.

It is very orange as you will see quite soon at Donington along with orange plumbing (I hope)! This is stage 1 - intention is to do dash, centre console and rest of doors next year. Ant tips on getting steering wheel off (is it just a case of carefully levering horn button off?) as it isn't aligned quite right. Also I added a poly carbonate windshield I had cut recently but no idea of it works yet - may be brave enough tonight!!
