Simon_CSK Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Well I have done it again. My old P38 is beig broken in the driveway, my CSK is parked up needing a new body shell and my Disco is in the garage getting a new chassis fitted and due back this week hopefully.I am driving around in a loan car from the garage. Today I have bought another P38 with a knackered block just to keep me amused. One day I will learn that Land Rovers are useless and I should get a car that actually goes but hey in for a penny in for a pound. My theory is that once the Disco is back and the P38 is running I will have a spare car when one or other is sick. Hopefully save me a fortune hiring cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Lol Good man You don't have to be crazy to own a Land Rover but it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The formula for the number of Landrovers that should be owned is; n+1 where n is the number currently owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The formula for the number of Landrovers that should be owned is;n+1 where n is the number currently owned. surely that formula of N+1 refers to the number of unroadworthy/under repair Landrovers?

duncmc Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 surely that formula of N+1 refers to the number of unroadworthy/under repair Landrovers? That also. Or the number of bikes, or amount of garage space needed etc, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That also. Or the number of bikes, or amount of garage space needed etc, etc Yeah but I've got a big garden...... Sort of got an idea into my head that a 3 door Range Rover would make a good project, mind you rumour has it that locally there is a Stalwart that may, just may, be looking for a new home sometime soon. Now how the hell would I sneak that by the wife.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 That also. Or the number of bikes, or amount of garage space needed etc, etc It cannot equate to garage space. I have a garage capable of 3 Range Rovers and there is not one in it because it is unfinished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I've also got a decent sized piece of ground (I'm sure the word "garden" has some definition that mine doesn't conform with!). My technique is to randomly park the "projects in waiting" behind bushes or piles of logs so that there is no one position where SWMBO can stand and actually see them all at the same. She can only ever see three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My projects end up at my parents house currently as I just don't have room at mine! The GF and myself are looking for a new house, she's already looking at places in the countryside with large garages and plenty of land. Parked up at my parents I have the MGB GT V8 I'm building and the '81 In Vogue waiting in the shadows for some attention. Simon, thought this might be of interest to you; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-RANGE-ROVER-2-DOOR-SHELL-CSK-/200922030032?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ec7e2dfd0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Task Already spotted they also have a complete car. The problem I have is funds had that been around when I spotted the P38 I would have gone for that instead. My thought is to buy a complete vehicle from Spain just for the shell because mine is well shot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That is exactly what I should have done with mine although I'm glad I kept the original one even if most of it isn't that original any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 That is exactly what I should have done with mine although I'm glad I kept the original one even if most of it isn't that original any more! I had thought about it but there is far too much to do. Both A pillars are totally rotten both cills are gone and the rear frame is shot and that is what I know about. Even if I had the welding skill I think it would take far too long. I am looking for a good shell. Also after rebuilding my chassis with new parts it was very enjoyable and relaxing just to potter with it and get it right. So I am looking forward to doing the CSK but that is a very long term project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
