At the risk of getting myself a whoosh parrot, the only Rover you could convert a Range Rover into would be a P4. P5 and P6 were unibody.

Anyway, judging by how many chassis this thread has gone through already, by the time the finished article emerges, it'll be based on a Ford F-650...

Well I must be in touch with my feminine side, as I reserve the right to change my mind............

And stamp your feet if the mood takes you.

Now, back out to that man-cave and get building.

That will have to wait while I do the fund generation bit (better known as 'work') for a couple of months.

I will be doing research and parts purchasing when I get chance, but days are long at the moment.

Would you want to restore this to the original?

Sometime when a car is modified it can create a piece of history in it's own right (not saying that my effort will be in that class though).

What a waste of two '59 Cadillacs.

Thanks for your vote of confidence Robert. Hopefully not misplaced!!

I keep popping in to see your progress. Now where have I seen flames before????

Keep up the good work. Are you making a record of the costs to put things in perspective.....

Oh FFS.

Seriously dude. Give it a rest.

(I really hope you were being ironic. In which case how about a 'smiley'?)

Is Robert/Ivanhoew building something too? Build thread link?

Damn glad I don't live near you as you must be the ultimate scrounger (not meant in a bad way!). I applaud your ability to make a silk purse out of nothing!!!

Keep posting.

so much so that i had to check your user name !

Nah, taxis aren't rare, there are enough preserved. Presume the engines came from Jag XJ40s/X300s. Also sad to see a Xantia stacked on top of a 405 in the scrapyard.

im starting to think that if you won the lottery and had a massive shed you would be in some serious trouble!!!

[RoverP6B]

Yeah, I wish I had the funds and a bloody enormous warehouse (floor space measured in square miles rather than square feet) to save some representative examples of enjoyable everyday machinery, especially from that last golden era of the 90s and early 2000s. I'd then rent them out for people to enjoy - no use keeping them all to myself.
