Makes sence.
I would like white in the tray and underneath. then it would be red on the outside with a white canopy. Just hope that don't look a bit odd.

Just asking but why White? White will get dirty easy. I'd go Red on the outside and black or grey under-body coating on the bottom and Black in the tray. Oh theres some rubber thing that you can spray to keep the tray looking gd and prevents scratches etc.

Damn that's had a hard life but going great so far, you notice dirt much less on white and silver than any other colour, I've washed my silver Liberty once in the past 4 yrs and it still looks kinda clean.

This has inspired me to build one out of the Brumby wreck I got from Guy.

Good Work so far.

Won't you fix up that red one?

Are you being sarcastic ??

I did think about fixing it and still might but it depends on what my other Brumby is like under all the rust. Either way I hope to end up with my good rotary powered one, a bush-bashing twin engined one and a trailer.

The red one I got fromyou has a really good tray and rear body so it would be ideal for the trailer idea. The rusty one I have is fairly rusty and the tray is not in good condition so it would make more sense to cut that up and use it for twin engines, rather than the other way round.

So thanks again to revmax for the trailer inspiration

Can't you use the rear brakes as a handbrake with a lever up the front or is that a separate system to the hydraulics?

Looking good there mate! This is something Gail wants me to do for her with another wrecked brumby!

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Cheers
