8) very good that what do you use to watch it on is it 12volt ? i have been thinking of something like that to keep an eye on my passengers :?

I got a indash double din DVD player/radio/sat nav so can view the image on the screen in colour..Yes the cam is 12volts and the dvd player is 12volts as well..I will take a pic of the screen with rear view image soon..In the dark it works ok when reversing as rev lights light up the area behind me..

What I been up to for the past 2 days as wife is away at her mums so I can work outside all day without interruptions..Image
Image
fitted a rear pelmet along with extra marker lights(or fancy lights as my wife say)
Image
Fitted some plastic mudguards as the metal ones were a bit rotten and managed to fit the side marker lights as well,just got to tidy the wires up a bit.The wheels sit a bit lower once its loaded up so the gap isnt so big..
Image
fitted the flashing light as it was a bargain from ebay.(cost me £3.05 but was £15.00 delivery still a bargain)and all the bulbs work..
