Range Rover classic

Not fair, you have a bulkhead in one piece!

[dunk7]

I was surprised to how good it is, just a bit of light surface
corrosion, easily fixed

[DKL]

Mine is now but in exchange for lots of $$$
Ah well I know its good for another 20 years.

[dunk7]

Trust me your not on your own but hopefully its
worth it, buy the time i'm finished i could easily
have bought a 2010 reg Range Rover with the cash i'm
spending doing this.

My thoughts were, the 2010 RR will de value where as
the soft dash we're restoring will gain value, i prefer
the look of the classic too, far classier than the new stuff

[dunk7]

Rear quarter windows came out and i've taken the
rear seat belts out so i could remove the inner and
outer corner trims.

Offside is perfect but the nearside has a line of heavy
corrosion that needs to be cut out

Also started to scotchbright the panels

Looks great, doing something similar myself.

Can I ask what suspension you are going for ?

Thanks

Cheers Phil, its staying on air suspension and getting
all new OE Dunlop airbags but with Bilstein dampers

Ah .... Didn't realise it was air !

Mine is one of the last spring cars before air, just can't work out what to use for a fast road set up, hence the question

Good luck

Give Phil a call at Twenty Ten engineering, i'm sure he could give you good advice on what to use

The chassis was stripped yesterday, air tank, air control box, engine and gearbox etc and went off to Howells to be acid stripped and galavanized.

New calipers got a coat of gold paint and the rear axle is built, will be fitting the calipers to both axles tomorrow and starting to make the new brake hard pipes.

With a bit of luck we might have a rolling chassis at some stage
next week

Dunc, I found some old threads on a RR forum about performance exhausts with a cat equipped car.
Was it you? If so what did you do in the end?

Sorry David it wasn't me, there are high performance cats around these days but i've no idea what is the best to use having never used any of them.

Cleaning up the shell ready for paint etc, have to fit the scuttle panel on now the bulkhead is sorted.

Front and rear axles are almost finished
