Hi

over the last few months i have been doing a bobtail conversion and rebuild on my range rover

as with all projects they have a purpose and this one was to make it as good off road as we could possibly get, with standard classics they have a hell of alot of rear overhang so we cut 20" of its bum to make it nice young and pert again :)

when I first got it and a few action pics










You get the idea then at the end of July we cut it apart to repair replace and strengthen

First thing the inner wing was rotten and you can’t buy replacements for them anymore so we took it off to see what we could do (this nearly wrote the car off as I couldn’t find one anywhere)







Then we got the pen out

Tel:
Then up on the axle stands so we can operate









Then chop







As you can see the rear body mounts were tired



So chop



We then had to widen the mounts 10mm as the only box section i could find was 100x100







New body mount with the 2" lift started to go in place

Tel:
Roof shortened to match (what a job)




More rust fixed



Bit of paint



Getting it back together nice and short




Miniman welding the new cross member in





Front inner wing back on that i found on eBay for a steal at £20
Needed alot of work tho



I decided to make a new snorkel aswell




New bumper mounting




And new little windows :)



pretty much how it stands at the moment as been really busy building a shop at the moment so all my time has been taken up doing that




Hope you guys like and ill update I we get on with the build

 Plans are st orange with black roof and wheels with a few other mods

Tel:
bits that might not be obvious are

2" suspesion lift
2" body lift
2" tyre lift
6" extended brake lines
in the middle of an lpg gas conversion
and trying to source a custom fuel tank which is proving pretty difficult so if anyone can help me with then please do so

Tel:
SOME UPDATES FOR YOU ALL BODY MOUNTS NOW WELDED UP AND REAR LIGHT PODS MADE LPG KIT NOW FULLY FITTED CANT WAIT TO HEAR IT RUN AGAIN I MISS MY V8

GOING TO BE A VERY CAPABLE VEHICLE WHEN ITS FINISHED
