I've just booked my rangie in for a mot 3 months early because i've got some jobs to do on her, (see other posts ) and I dont want to spend too much on her if in feb it's going straight to the breakers  :roll:  My idea is this..............
If she is a bit of a lost cause then strip all body work and build some sort of offroading mutant !!   :twisted:  :twisted:  I'm thinking scaffy bars and box section should do, maybe flatbed on back for motocross bikes, grenade launchers, you know the sort of thing  :lol:  :lol: Eventually making it road legal. Removable lights etc. What you think ????? The more I think about it the bigger my smile is getting  :twisted:  :twisted:  Anyone done a kit car and how hard was it to get road registered ??

Range Rover Blues:
If you build, say a Dakar onto that chassi then you keep the current V5, as you retian the engine/transmission/axles/steering/suspension and chassis.  The body counts for nowt in the scheme of things.

Evilgoat:
IBEX?

Range Rover Blues:
Good thinking :)

barriesheene:
I've decided to go for the convertable option !!  :twisted:  :twisted:  I've drawn a few rough plans today and poked about in the beastie. I cant really see any problems  8)  I'm going for the canvas roof type thing similar to the military 90/110 setup. basically canvas lashed on with rope. I'm fitting a removable roll bar,( on when offroading and off when pottling about posing  8) ) Wife thinks I'm mad and in the middle of a mid life crisis. I think that she is probably right and it sound's like a damn good exscuse to me, especially as i can drag it out for a few years yet  :lol:  :lol:  I've got a collegue in work who can make the canvas top and 2 scaffy bars in the garage waiting to be chopped up for a roll bar !!!!! I'll do pics as an when we get progress! I'm VERY excited !! Just gotta sort the head gasket first  :evil:   :cry: Oh I'll be leaving the doors on but everything else from the windscreen back is coming off !!!
