Well after a recent outing i decided to go mad with the steam cleaner and wash off some 3 year old cr*p.After which i had a poke round with a screwdriver-BIG mistake,managed to poke several holes in my chassis and rear crossmember 
So i have decided that some extensive surgery is on the cards,starting at the front end and working backwards
1-replace damaged front wings and make something to prevent furthur damage 
2-modify snorkel to stop it getting knocked/tangled in trees
3-remove rear body and repair chassis
4-modify rear winch mount/fit new rear winch
5-make/replace rear crossmember
6-make something to prevent furthur damage to rear body
7-ER thats it! upto now 
Started modifying my front wings last week
This is the current progress
Paul
