Long story short (as I can make it).
I've always loved the look of the Range Rover Classic and planned long ago to restore one as my daily driver. About 4/5 years ago I purchased a 1992 RRC from an eBay seller. The vehicle was in really good shape so to make it my daily driver, I planned on a color change and interior refresh. I imagined the project would be completed in a year or less.
At the time, I drove a Wrangler Rubicon and planned on passing it to my daughter when she graduated college (about two years later) and drive the Classic.
Fast forward about 1 1/2 years and the RRC was nowhere close and my daughter's Exterra was falling apart.
"Daddy, maaaybe I could get "RubiC" a little early..." I was ok with this but had no car myself.
Plan B. Buy a late model RR Sport, pass RubiC to my daughter, complete the RRC resto, sell the RR Sport, drive the RRC daily; all good.
She got the Rubicon, RRC wasnt done until a year later and I kinda liked the supercharged Sport.
So, fast forward and now I had the RRC and it looked beautiful. What to do...Overlanding vehicle build!
The earliest pictures I can find are: (after color change and at the upholstery shop. "OEM" at this point):

Years ago I restored a 1976 HJ45 (thread in the Landcruiser section) and will add as many pictures I can find to this thread to show the journey of this build.
End result spoiler:
