The best 4x4xfar
Hi there,
I have been keeping track of this forum for some time now and decided it was time to post a picture of my first creation, hope you like it.
It is based on a LXX and the bodyshell is two pull back Landrovers which were cut and joined together to produce the longer wheelbase that was required. Since this is an international forum I thought the G4 Challenge colour scheme would probably be recognisable by most of you.
More pictures to follow.

Very nice body but is the car a 4x4? If it is can we get some pics of the chassis?

That was a quick reply sessiz10 - sorry to disappoint you but the only mod to the chassis is the addition of a switch to allow charging while others are using the same frequency.
I am planning to try out a 4x4 TTTT next though so it may get a similar shell.

No idea who makes the pull backs, there are no markings on either the chassis or bodies. I got them from 'Landrover Enthusiast Magazine' here in the UK so I am guessing they were a limited edition short run, I had difficulty getting hold of these.

It's a very clean job. The patience it must have taken you to get that detail....wow. As Paula Abdul would say..."Well Done!"  I especially like the luggage rack.

 WOW! Excellent work!
I really like the details... the rack and the intake. How about adding a winch on the front? It would cover up the tab.
I wish I had some of your skills!
