Will, you should have a PM, sorry I took so long to get back to you Long time no update. So, what have I achieved? Well: Suspension is on, and just needs setting up properly One of the new engines is in Most of the oil and water lines are done Bodywork is finished Just a bit of wiring left to do now The all important photo's: Did I not mention I wasn't on about the RR? Yes unfortunately I've been a tad distracted with this of late, so nothing has happened on the Range Rover, and I very much doubt too much will happen before August at this rate Matt

This is why I love flickr and dropbox Hassle free and works every time

Looks tidy Ro's would set it off perfectly imo, I think I'm going to keep mine for road tyres, with some mods for the MTs (This plan is about a day old, so liable to change any minute now ) Only a crazy person would restore one of those silly 2 doors Don't tell me where you live or you're liable to have me come round and steal bits off it have a mooch about

Modchop is that a Terrafirma hitch, or something else? I really like the idea of these but ~£200 for the Terrafirma model plus a tow bar plus a recovery hitch is a bit too much for my tastes Cheers Matt

Tiny little update: You know how I said I loved eBay for getting me a set of SUs for £11.49? I take it all back What I've actually got is a set of standard fit Zenith Strombergs But every cloud has a silver lining - it's enabled me to transfer the linkages directly without swapping the manifold and carbs over, so for <10mins work the accelerator cable is now connected up and the carbs connected to each other - result It also means I've got a spare set of identical carbs if i need them, so this mistake was probably for the best The manifolds are slightly different it seems, but nothing to serious

Those are some fantastic Photoshop skills! The goal for mine is the original image The colour is Tuscan Blue, paint code LR236 if that's any use Cheers for thus replies guys, looks like I need to avoid avoid the later models if I want a drop-in replacement.

That'd be great if you could mate I can get rear cross-members new I think, but didn't you have problems with a new one from Paddocks? Goalposts would be great, must be better than mine

Cheers guys - looks like I need to be careful if I find a good condition replacement

Back to the drawing board - I thought I'd tracked down a set of foot well repair panels. Alas no, no stock Then again, I doubt it'd be too hard to fab some replacements up......

Alright guys and gals, I've got some questions for you: What differences are there between RRC bulkheads? Could a last-of-the-line one be fitted onto an early model? I assume heater elements and so on are different? Do you know of anywhere that does repair footwells or an exchange unit like you can find for Series motors? Has anyone galvanised one before? I'm keen to get mine solid again and try to keep it that way for more than two minutes Did it warp in the process? I think that's all of the questions for now And because this topic is quite boring as a reward for getting this far, have some shamelessly stolen pictures of Range Rovers: Matt

Does no rear windows not count as a teething issue? Now I want some turbovecs too did they even come in an LR fitment? Is it just me or are the fronts a lot more offset than the rears? The offset on the rears looks pretty perfect in that last photo

That looks mega Perfect overland car IMO - the comfort and luxury of a Rangie with the space of a 110

Car looks awesome, especially on the new wheels - I thought the Slots looked good, but these are even better! -- I need to have a mess around in Photoshop, but I reckon spacing the wings out a la Group B would look MEAN

Other than the catches was it a good fit? Did it feel like it'd take the weight of someone sitting on it? Even my "good" tailgate is bad, and I've got an aluminium top so I was considering a GRP one because I want my motor to last another 40 years, preferably without another rebuild - but if it won't last then there's no point The drop down bit is correct, a '72 should definitely have one. It's got the registration plate lights built into it too so I see no reason why Mr MOT or Mr DVLA could have an issue with it:
