Looks like a moke to me so dont see an issue sticking that badge on. My amc just has an austin badge on. My daughter calls ours Mokey which i quite like... so long as people dont try and sell em as genuine i dont see an issue...

It's quite mad to think that my car is this actual one in this sales pictures and the car used to pass the IVA. Changed a bit.

Bought some desert camo netting to go as a full length roof, but with a cropped roll bar and my 6'3" head line its no good, until I either build or buy a new full roll cage. So experimenting on where to put it for now.

Looking good, have you driven with the camo netting in there? Wondered if it acted like a parachute?

Went for spin round the block, wind passes through it no problems really. Wouldn't like to go on the motorway though  O_O

Like big wip lash aerial. Funnily enough I was toying with having a CB ( in readiness for the apocalypse)

Next thing- bought a short spade and mounting kit for a landy. Don't intend to do much digging but I like the look of them. Decided to put it on the passenger side so it can double up as a grab rail. Had to do a bit of bending of the bracket as it was wider than the sill.

I minor technicality you shouldn't care about:

 

The buckle on the strap's the wrong way round, the cutout goes with the free end so you can pinch the webbing through it as a quick release.

 

Might save your life if you ever have to dig your way through a snow drift in blizzard conditions and the strap's frozen  :P (Fair do's, that scenario doesn't go with the colour scheme).
