Range Rover 2 door 1992
Discussion
So here it starts, first post for the restoration of this 1992 2 door Range Rover. It won’t be a period correct car as there are lots of nice mods and upgraded parts to choose from. Budget isn’t huge but with careful planning I’m sure I can finish up with something nice to look at and drive.
Below is a picture of the old girl being picked up and trailered away. Hopefully not too much rust under those ali body panels as it has come from a hot climate country.
Initial thoughts on paint is a plain gloss finish in Land Rover Keswick green or Pastel green with possibly the roof in Land Rover limestone. I could then trim the interior in a biscuit or porcelain green leather with a contrasting piping. Carpet could be a darker green perhaps? Not sure yet as it’s early days.
Engine will be a Rover v8 in 4.2 guise with an auto box. Wheels wise I like the late p38 vogue 18’s split 5 spokes. They have a nice dished rim to polish with colour coded spokes. I have a rotten 92’ 4 door vogue se donor to use for the gadgets.
Roughly I can see a finished car in about 2 years. Pictures I’ll post as and when, if there is any interest im happy for any comments especially if I’ve missed something obvious.
Wish me luck

I’m not 100% sure but I believe the csk version was the last U.K. 2 door in 90/91. 2 doors after that were export only. The car in the picture above is a 1992 LHD which I’ll convert using parts from the rotten RHD car I also have. I’ll try where possible to build my version of a 2 door vogue se. Like I’ve said early days yet. In theory it all sounds reasonable easy but there will be engineering and fitting issues. Below is the picture of the 4 door donor. Rather than literally scrap her I decided to do this project instead
