pics off RRC's

--- Quote from: "simon15" ---Disco's are a lot better inside a bit more modern and up to date.

The only feature of a discos interior I would like is the 2 rear side seats, a friend remove his spilt fold rear seats in his disco to make way for a big LPG tank and extra load area whalst still having seating for 4 people. The down side is you would also need a disco roof line unless your passengers are v.v.v.very small.
More modern and up to date style inside, but no armrest and so I'm told the dash starts to peal at the edges on older discos (I supose they needed a sudstitute for a headlining that sags). Needless to say for me a RRC has more charm.
Mines still a work in progress

Thats is now and old picture, as of now I have a little more due to changing the bushes in the front back to metalastic and fitting the longer front dampers. I didn't have the camera to hand today but the new RTI is approximately 819 :D and there is still more left to extrat.
Effectively its Gwyn Lewis challange kit, however only the rear damper mounts are actually made by Gwyn Lewis. The dampers are supplied by Llama4x4 and are 11" travel rough country dampers and the front damper mounts are home made from good metal that would other wise be scrap.
Other changes include the one piece rubber metalastic bushes normally fitted to RRC with an Anti Roll Bar. The bodge SLU is removed from the rear. The brake lines are +4 and rear one is slightly repositioned due to body lift. Springs are LR green/pink front and red/white rear.
The lower SLU mount is binding of the diff casing in the above picture and will need prunning. The rear bushes are binding quite badly so cranked trailing arms are on the shopping list to get the most out of the rear. As for the front, I suspect that will get a hidged radius arm, but that is some time off.
In terms of finacial cost, to date its cost approximately £330 in parts.

Some of my old rangy here. It was a 3 ltr madza turbo diesel and would put a house up a hill.

The day it arrived
31's and 235/85's don't fit very well, but I have a second battery in the spare wheel position anyway.
Modded Series swing-away spare wheel carrier.
Up on the roof on a braced disco wheel carrier.
Here's Tiny my old 2 dr before and after.

and Sooty my 2.8 TDi Paj powered Vogue SE
RR V Disco
Different horses for different courses!
You want a family vehicle full of practicality with good mileage then get the Disco.
If you want the best looking Land Rover ever built with all the refinements and yet so capable off road, then get the Rangie.
Both can rust quite spectacularly too.
