Post by: iomlr on November 08, 2007, 13:26:09: Whats the plan with her? mod her in what way?

I love that material on those seats bar fair the nicest and warmest warmest. Not the best look i would agree.

Post by: Brian the Sn@il on November 08, 2007, 13:29:42: Picked it up yesterday Â£1000 with 12 month MOT :)

I was looking at a bobtail, but its far to nice for that.

New Springs up 2inches
New SHocks
Mud Terrain Tyres
Polybushes to tighten it all up a bit.

Does that sound ok ?

Post by: iomlr on November 08, 2007, 13:32:51: I would heavily recommend bobtailing it! job done right you'll have a BELTING machine! Go on you know you want too. 1inch body lift DIY bumpers and you'll have all the comfort of a 30 / 40 grand RR but the off-road ability of any 90 if not more!

Would be a shame bobtail it.....
BUT you HAVE to do these things don't you ?
Fire up the plasma cutter !!!

Post by: Range Rover Blues on November 10, 2007, 15:11:15: That's too nice to chop up and TBH I manage fine with mine standard, plus I can still get the dogs in it.

Are you keeping the nudge bar? if not how much do you want for it?
Title: Here she is, 1990 Vogue EFi 3.9
Post by: FITZ4X4 on November 10, 2007, 16:26:11: Yes that very nice, too nice to off road. There's not many left in that condition. It can only go up in value if it's kept nice. What ever you decide to do with it your first job should be to waxoil it :)

Post by: Bowie on November 16, 2007, 11:49:57: I never understood 'that's too good to modify for off road'....

I would rather get something that is solid and work from there, as you wont be constantly worrying about the body coming away from the chassis.....

Get a lower miler and the engine/box/suspension should give less grief as well....

Mod it I say, and mod it well ;)

Post by: Brian the Sn@il on November 21, 2007, 11:46:23: Prior to sorting out the wallowing effect, we have re designed the exhasut to day :)

MK1 was straight through, system.

It sounded awful, so we are fitting the back box back on.

So all it will have is the Back Box.
