Mada's Freelander Project

Hi guys I'm back!

Been off the scene for a little bit but thought ill come back, sadly not with a ford!

ill start by telling you some of the cars ive had so far, my first was a 1.25 fiesta which i spent far too much money on, but looked lovely

Image

Image

then i got myself a little puma and modded that

here are a few of the puma:

Image

Image

Then went to the dark side of a 206 2.0 hdi which ended up looking like this

Image

So Ive gone for a 04 plate Land Rover Freelander 2.0 TD4. I know the freelander doesn't have the best reputation but I love it! Its not too bad on fuel, not as good as the 206 but is a lot better than the puma was. Got a few things planned for it along the way.

Day I picked it up

Image

First mods included
Led bulbs
6000k HID
Black and Silver Land Rover badges off the Range Rover Sport
Painted rear drums black
Fly eye front and rear lights
Fitted new speakers as old ones were blown
IO Play hands free kit
Pictures with the roof off :wink:

Image

Image

Image

Will keep this update with the odd bits i do here and there

A different kind of project!

Certainly an interesting one! Although I fancy a 4x4, it would have to be a Defender for me :)

So I fly eyed the front and rear lights and also fitted pressed number plates.

Also took the lettering off the bonnet

Image

Bought 5 off-road tyres on steel wheels for £55 for the set, all types have at least 10mm on them, so a steal at that price!

Decided to do a gentle green lane

Image

Roof had to be off

Image

Fitted some side bars

Image

And some stickers

Image

cb radio arial mount fitted behind spare tyre

Picked up a dog guard

The snow arrived in scotland

Image

Picked up a roof rack for £5 which I'm currently modding

Image

Then fitted a 32inch CREE LED roof bar
Image

Image

and fitted some spot lights to the bumper

Image

Image

currently waiting for some new bulbs to arrive for them!

Also picked up a bull bar which I've got to fit, along with soft top which needs some repairing to it.

Feel free to comment away!
