My Rangie story so far. Now Bobtail.

(1/10) > >>

v8rangie:
Just spent the last 2 hours getting the rangie stripped ready for mot prep.

Nearly got the fuel tank out ready for the filer neck are to be welded up.
But couldn't get the front 2 bolts undone :(

Also took the driverside front wing off as the side bulk head area has quite a bit of rot in it.

But fingers crossed ill get it all stripped wednesday and my mate can get it all welded up and get it MOT'd ready for the sundays laning :)

Although i started poking around the rear cross-member and its a bit eaten away but not too badly so hope to get away with plating it and sealing it with underseal.

Brian the Sn@il:
hi mate, what year is your rangie ?

v8rangie:
Its 89 'F' one of the last 3.5's

v8rangie:
Right managed to get started on the repairs tonight.
My almost Brother in law popped over armed with his angle grinder and welder and started attacking my car :(

anyway here is how it all started out....

Behind the drivers wing..and under the pedals.....







And also the body mount has taken some abuse too :( and we now have to take the body off to get to it and replace it...
But then it does give me the excuse to fit the 2" spacers i have had now for months :)

Anyway he started cutting away..
 

And the side panel went....





Soon followed by the floor..









Then he started to remake it all back up..
the fun part. its all taked in place at the mo but looking a lot better than it did.









Here are a few of the other bits that will be up for some surgery very soon.

Front body mount under pedals...





Front drivers side under headlight area.







And also a few little bits on the rear









More to follow as its done. planning on lifting the body up the weekend along with completely stripping the interior ready for completely sealing inside and out.

v8rangie:
Well had a great weekends progress managed to get most of the body cut and sorted ready for welding back together.

Heres quite a few pics for you all to look at.

i took off 16 " in the end as i didnt want to go too short :)

You will see the body x-member is shot so im gonna replace that too.

















Just got to chop the chassis during the week weld that back up then start on all te little bits for the MOT...
