After one year of ownership, how my UK T30 has changed
So after one year of UK T30 ownership she has changed quite a lot. She started as a stock 2003 2.0 ltr sport, very low mileage @ 37K miles and in pretty good shape.
In the last 12 months I've completed:
a 45mm body lift, with adjustable front ARB links, new top mounts, ARB bushes, bump stops
Had a full stainless steel custom exhaust built from the downpipe back with side exit behind the rear wheel
Had two sets of wheels powder coated satin black and gun metal grey, fitted with BFG KO2 for summer use and Dakar full muds for autumn / winter use.
Fitted a 3mm steel sump guard
Double DIN head unit
Fitted a 2.5 litre (silver dials) dash and then matt blacked the whole cluster
SVE leather steering wheel
Clear side repeaters
Retro fitted the OE armrest.
Matt blacked the door mirrors, front grille, front foglamp inserts, dash trims, front and rear badges and two toned the radio surround / switches for HRW, 4WD etc..
High tensile front recovery bolts
CB radio in dash top box
Pull out (slide rail) cooker installed in the boot on a quick release system
In progress: Witter rear towbar with the 50mm ball hitch and drawbar pin - should be finished this week.
Pair of Cibie Oscars soon and next summer a side roof bar mounted awning.
and then the biggy for sometime next year, a complete respray (peeling lacquer). Pulling a second job for 6 months to stash enough $$ to pay for the paint job, which should be.... repainted the same red, but satin finish, not gloss and a matt black roof and roof spoiler.

Re:
Hi Martyn,
You should start a Members Ride thread to track your progress. Thanks
Also, the pics you linked on the UK forum are not accessible to everyone unless they're a member of that board, so consider hosting the photos externally like Photobucket or similar.
