That’s a shame. Was it always your plan to sell or have you found something else?

[dunk7]

Some changes in life so its time to move on

I've had it 5 + years and enjoyed the journey

I'm just going through it now to get any silly bits sorted, fitted new seat base access panels, a new interior light surround and had the A/C tested and re gassed and all was working spot on

Also found it looks like the heated seats aren't working so will be fitting new elements next tuesday at www.nationwidetrim.co.uk

[dunk7]

Came across a LH side seat plinth trim which was new old stock
so will be fitting that today as the one on my Range has cracked
around the screw hole

[dunk7]

Heated seat elements fitted to both front seats, also refurbished the dash bezel and tailgate handle and waiting on new parts to fix the tailgate central locking which will be fitted with the new tailgate which arrived the end of last week

Removed the lower seat trims so they could be re covered

Central locking is working now as well

We also fitted the new old stock lower rubber seal that i found

When we stripped the lower tailgate it would appear that i've lost the
the badge that was on it.

Luckily i've found a replacement and it arrived this morning

[dunk7]

The new heated screen has been taken out and re fitted correctly with
new trims, it was originally replaced by my insurance companies fitters
who sadly didn't do a very good job.

Fits perfectly now and no damage to the trims

[dunk7]

Off to check out a couple of body shops next and see who impresses
me enough to do the paintwork

Hi Dunk - looks great, impressive work.

What sort of money is this worth now?

Cheers

Thanks, i have no idea but i'd like to think looking at others its got to be £30k + once the paint is done, it'll be better than when it left Land Rover 23 yrs ago

[dunk7]

Still not painted it yet but bought some spare parts i couldn't resist as
they were all in pretty good shape

A set of doors complete with frames, glass, door handles, mirrors and
door cards with speaker surrounds and grills

Also a pair of front wings from the same donor soft dash

[dunk7]

When the windscreen was replaced, did you reuse the original trims or buy new ones? I understand that you can only buy new Discovery ones now? My windscreen will need doing soon.

Very kind of you to locate it just up the road from me. Could you post in the other Range Rover thread nearer the time?
