Project short arse!

[seaton]

Well, after a few moths of deciding if I should sell the Rangie and get a 90, I’ve made my decision, I’m keeping the Rangie 'cos I love the V8, auto, A/C and so on, but cant stand it dragging its arse off road so its time for surgery.
Here are some pics of the project so far.

Nice job Will there will be new wheels & tyres etc going on and made into a 5door luxury trialler?

[seaton]

Current plans are 235 75 x 16 M/T's (yet to be decided) on the origonal rims, then in the future maybe play with suspension and arches to get something a bit bigger on.

[Graham.J]

Sounds good to me!! My old BFG MTs were fantastic off road and very well behaved on road. I had some old all terrains on the 90 when I bought it and the BFGs were quieter on road than those ATs.

Well looking at some of the projects on here I reckon its time for an 10 month update on mine!!!! suspension and tyres are now on, body work is just about finished (cheers to my bro for painting it)






Should be done soon!!! Can't wait!!!

thats a lovely job, can we see so more pics, and one off how you mounted the tank?

[seaton]

Thats the tank!

ive got a 5' hi-lift to mount horizontaly above the tank and behind the spare. With that and a few ropes etc and the boot is full!

Any other areas you partiuly want to se pics of?

[R6RY D]

thats a nice neat job, i have seen some shite ones before, but you can clearly see some thought went into this, well good mate

[seaton]

Cheers, i've seen some rough one about to, the only things im not happy with are the join in the roof, because I wanted to keep the sunroof I had to make the join alot further back than id like, and a small area of the paint reacted, which will get redone at some point.

[seaton]

Well after nearly 2 years ive finished it!!!!!

Your opinions please!

[bluespanner]

The Mach 5's will finish it off nicely will you go for the gold/silver colour or get the powder coated?

[seaton]

I think gold passivate would suit it best.

[greenlandy]

Gold or Black IMO.
