orange rover Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 in one of the mags in the last year, there was a feature about a company turing range rovers into off road racers. in front they remove all the wings and just leave the bonnet, roof is cut etc, the front pretty much looks like in addition, they also had one vehicle that had a super seven body. anyone knows the name of the company or has a url? (@white90, excellent project, very good locking car. hope you don't mind me using your picture) kind regards orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 just a note, but that is RogueVogue's Truck rather than White90's.... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I know the truck you mean I don't think it is one of Longranger's trucks I could be wrong. I would say there are better trucks to race than the one's featured on LRO or which ever mag it was. It is not the Roage Vouges truck that is very diffrant in construction. I know of someone that has one and the work needed to make it a half decent truck and road leage is much more than you would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark ah, i thought poster = owner long ranger ist not what i meant, the two racers looked pretty much like the rogue rover from the front, one was yellow as far as i remember. in addition they also did a front tail, i.e. chopped parts from the front since the radiator was in the back. looked rather good as far as i remember would love to find some´pictures online.

Mark Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 RogueVogue's has been bullnosed as well, but you wouldn't really notice unless you put a standard rangie next to it - it's a very neat job. sorry I can't help on the other stuff though...

jules Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I remember the write up on them what did you need to know about I will dig it out tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I bullnosed mine too and tapered the front by a couple inches when I used to do trialing. Unfortunately it has never been described as a nice job by anyone. But at least I don't worry if I hit anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've seen your motor and hitting something could only improve it's looks, in fact it looks like that's what you've been doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange rover Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 It's been a long day roit thanks, yes that's what I was looking for. want to build a range rover based racer and looking for ideas. like the rogue vogue better though, like the custom panels rather than the standard two door ones.
