Yes. My buddy and I have been fixing up Range Rover Classics for the last 3 years to various degrees. This one will hopefully be one of the nicer ones. We like to return them to stock.

Well it's moving along. Slowly.
I had to fabricate a new driver side floor plan. It's mostly done. Just need to grind down the welds and make it look prettier. Somehow the passenger side is ok.
I put a "new set of fenders up front and a new hood. I also hammer and dollied the rear passenger...
The new starter arrived. It's a nippondenso starter made to fit a Land Rover.
I'm not sure how to spell that. Lol.
Anyway. It has a gear reduction of 1.9. Should turn this motor over much easier. And since its Japanese, should last forever.
Old vs new.

Picked up a full size defender rack that fits my Range Rover for $250 on KSL.

So i finally got this thing to smoke. unfortunately the starter is engaging, but it stays out because its getting bound up, I need to figure out a way to space it out more or turn it a hair. so its almost ready for me to stick the transmission back in and get it rolling coal.
Damn I can't...
I'm finally putting the transmission and transfercase back in. I know, I'm slow.
I'm putting the adapters back in. I should be able to fire it up this week. Maybe drive it next week.

That would be mine. i had to buy it for parts to fix this one up. getting parts is nearly impossible for the body and interior of these things. But if you saw it, you'd understand why i'm parting it out. There is rat crap and mouse crap everywhere. the roof was also caved in. Its not a...
Well getting more done. Taking it back to original has not been easy. I found some good fenders, hood and cowl.
I've been body working those parts. It should be ready to paint next week

One step closer to finishing the Mercedes diesel conversion on the Storm Trooper Range Rover Classic. Deleted the fuel pump and ran a new pick up hose down to the fuel. Now the stock fuel gauge will work good.
I just need to delete the stock gas fuel filter and remove the block in the fuel...
Got a winch bumper for my classic. It's a rovertym. I think they are out of business now. I love KSL.
Painted, installed, lights mounted, winch mounted. Just need to wire it all up.

So today I concurred the axle flip. It went much easier then I ever thought possible. Took all of 30 minutes. Used some PB Blaster on all the bolts and ubolts. Then ran to Maverick to get a soda.
Came, jacked it up, unbolted the wheels, unbolted one leaf spring. Then I unbolted the...
Well found a nice set of proper aluminum wheels for this thing. Also a new set of front fenders. I have one rust patch to repair in the footwell on the passenger side. All in all it won't be bad once it get painted.
I've removed most of the crap wiring.
The engine runs on starter fluid. I...
I separated the old broken transfer case for the new one. I resealed the new one and cleaned it lovingly. Then sprayed it lovingly with some paint.
I put new seals in the transmission as well and painted it as well.
