Not done anything with the interior...although there are some nice bits out there!
First thing I would like is to get some soundproofing and a carpet set . When a stone comes out of the tyre into the rear wheel arch at speed, it is LOUD ! |

No problem James,
Get some security fitted, X-eng do the ignition barrel shroud, we supply Skytag (group buy section again), and MobileCentre (sponsor) do a really sophisticated alarm system Regards Matt |

James
Stunning-looking vehicle - to all intents and purposes it looks just like a Twisted French Edition - without the ridiculous stickers on it. I went for the same purposeful look with my recent rebuild of my Overfinch 90. I have the same wheels as you but in silver and with road-biased tyres fitted. get yourself a tracker fitted from Mark at road radio in Crawley - 150 up front and 400 lifetime subscription. get a swing-away wheel carrier as well. well done old chap - secret of good taste is knowing when to stop.

Thanks Griffman, that's precisely the look I wanted to achieve.
I used to have a factory built 1989 V8 90 which I couldn't resist putting tubular manifolds + free flowing exhaust on ....sounded great and didn't lose a penny on it. Enjoy your Overfinch ! Regards James |

Great looking truck mate!
What type of wheels are they? And the size of the tyres? Also where did you get them from?  |

Thanks,
Yes they are 285/65R18 ,and they are only available from Twisted as far as I'm aware also. Juddy, It is a lot more chuckable and there is more steering feel than our previous 110 on standard alloys Cheers James |
