Been lurking for a while, now joined up

Hi all,
I've been hanging around here for a while and posted a few pics of my Y60 Patrol and I thought it was time to join the club properly.

I have been in engineering and the motor trade for years and the last 5 years I've been working on Railway trains.
I used to be a big Land rover enthusiast and I've owned many different types and models of Landy from a 1950 series 1 right up to a nearly new TD5 110 and I've restored and built all kinds of Landys and other vehicles including kit cars.

The last few years I spent owning Nissan Skylines and then a tuned Navara but I've always been a fan of simple technology and had a patrol itch to scratch so I found myself a 1993 N/A 4.2 Safari that although a little knocked about on the body was low mileage and in excellent shape underneath not to mention has 43 stamps in the service book ! An ideal project vehicle for me to keep me ocupied.

I've been working my way through it, servicing, updating and modding it as well as giving it a respray in satin black, and it's getting how I want it now.

Anyway, there's a bit about me and my motor and I have to say that I've been on many motor forums, but this one looks like one of the friendliest and down to earth.
