Same bar as this. I know it's not everyone's style but it's what I like.

Only the povo pack crewman’s had the static/manually operated aerial.

You will have to start a new thread for Project HQ.

Removed old bullbar today. Took the opportunity to polish the headlights which came up well.

Test fitted new bar pending installation of brackets.

New bar fitted. Still need to wire up auxiliary blinkers, relocate horns etc.

Will mount small uhf aerial on guard.

Now can get stuck into cosmetics. Need 4 door handles to get resprayed as mine are chipped. I touched them up with duplicolour but they look dull.

New hoodlining organised. Mates rates deal.

Will tidy up paintwork and respray hard lid. Fortunate to have a son who is a panel beater/spray painter.

Finding a few rattles which I will sort out as well but overall happy with progress.

Mechanically good. Fun to drive.

Relocated horns today. Wired up blinkers in bar. Got hold of an original owners manual off ebay.

Nowhere near enough time to do what I had planned.

Still want to wire up courtesy light in console, Shift uhf aerial to guard and replace interior light bulb.

Found some cigarette burns in carpet. Grrr. Previous owner's legacy.

Pondered how a closed door respray would go. Hmmm. Big job, perhaps? Anyway, something to think about.
