Nothing yet but my artistic sister-in-law was set to paint a "Mutual of Omaha" logo on each door. Things got set back quite a bit when my engine blew last week, oh well it will just be that much better when she's all back together!

Solomons Island Yacht Sales. No idea on the history of what it did but no plans to get rid of it. Interestingly in my old truck everyone asked me about the old Rover. With this one everyone asks about Solomons Island with questions on the Rover.

I pulled the PO's big company vinyl logos off, it took some paint with it, just in case you decide to go this route. This was after a long time with a heat gun and goo gone afterwards to get rid of the residue. It also left a paint fade difference. Just food for thought if you want to do this kind of thing. I want to put a few things on it but am going to stick to small things and when possible on glass instead of paint...

Mine too :(
The dog, who's leash was tied to the non-functioning over drive shifter decided to jump out while I was parked. She was fine but only had enough leash to end up on two rear paws up against the driver's side door... she looked like she was about to be patted down by the cops
needless to say, its a mess of scratches now.

Oh well, if not her it would have been tree branches on a trail.

I've been thinking about some decals, maybe this is a good excuse.

I'd prefer something like this on the side of my rover however :

A Presidential muse would be quite nice.

It's actually 2 colors at the moment but the tub will get paint once it's moving which should be next week.

Nothing but shiny Marine Blue paint (that is perhaps a little too shiny)

that looks suspiciously like an aluminum intercooler out of an 85 Saab 900 Turbo.

Lab slober on both sides; rock chips from the highway; typical tree pin strips.

i'm thinking of the silhouette of a rhino with the words "maggee's rhino service" circling it and the words " you loose 'em we noose 'em". we only have about four rhinos in the albuquerque area but if one ever gets loose i'll be ready

If the art work is properly executed, I think this would be very unique and capture that Land Rover spirit. Some might call for the removal of such signage because you are not really a Rhino Service ( ;) ), but I say go for it!!
