Had another think...

The rear door, speakers spare wheel etc £30.

All the steel for the roll cage and the bumpers £10.

And bought a fuck off lump of steel today for the rear winch for £15.

So she's at £1253.

But after all that you have all the little things you don't add up...paint, bulbs etc.

And the time put into it all. I charge a modest £15 an hour for my work and that I wouldn't dare try to work out!

You mean for £15 an hour you're not gonna do a house call and repair it? Seems expensive now. :hahaha:

Chuck it in the back of your rig next time you come down this way... :hahaha:

Thursday should see the rear bumper go on and the winch too. I've decided on a 2" body lift just to get some fatter rubber in there. Still not sure if I've bought the right bit of metal for the rear winch mount... it weighs more than a small child. Might be overkill. I'm going to weigh it but I reckon it's 20 kilos at least!
