has it been sitting in a pool of salt water for the past... ever?

[G.T.R]

Nope but its also been driven like a submarine off roader and never undercoated. mechanically car is flawless in terms of motor one small piece and 4wd will work again let me fix it up and you will see truck has been sitting for two years OUTSIDE in a northern area so it does get covered and engulphed in snow come winter.

need a couple of those Hellas for my '72 BMW, Steve ! Sell them to me !

[G.T.R]

lol those are old school hella's and never I love them. and bright they shine and light up the world.

I think you should stock up on a supply of Evaporust, then clean/patch the bumper and powder-coat it. Then take the body off and hot-galvanize it and beadblast EVERYTHING.

you're gonna want to shoot your self when every bolt you try to remove snaps, because its seized on with rust. haha.

The WORST is removing the bumper nuts and bolts...it's either the head strips, or the thread strips or it snaps.

[G.T.R]

if they strip out Ill cut them off no big deal hahaha. I gave everything I wanted to remove a good once over with wd40 to soak. going to be a bitch no denying that but should be ok.

Update.

Well to all the haters, this truck has been quite a pleasure to work on.
Starter needed to be removed rebuilt and re instaled to remove 8 mins(including finding the bolts and figuring out the head was a alan key).
Replaced a length of rotted brake line was a 2 hour adventure including the trip to the store, the trip to borrow then bubble flare tool and removing, flaring and re installing a length of line.

Tossed a new battery in it, stripped and POR'd the front bumper. started servicing the whinch and the seizing hood latch, still cleaning the winch but the hood latch now works properly. Removed the padding from the hood which was badically off. Bled the brakes and changed the oil and filter, she starts and runs just need that sending unit so it stops leaking fuel everywhere drove it down the property and back. Sending unit should be here any day now, AND I GOT IT OUT OF DIFF LOCK!


My dog says hello


Its going to be an awesome truck to beat around with while my gtr is off the road for the summer going to have some fun!

A Rover that has been sitting for 2 years...?? I hope you dont plan to drive it on the road or pull up those carpets haha. Anything Rover loves to rust very quickly, especially Discos and RRCs, no wonder under the hood looks like that haha. If you are ever looking to do some wheeling with a Rover guy, I have a '92 Range Rover Classic on 36" TSLs, you can head down this way.

[G.T.R]

PM me you rnumber I know quite a few spots, and it is rusty but the funny part is I dont care ahahha. Not gonna take a super minty LR into a bush and smash the crap out of it. Might as well do something thats already been through it. and the engine bay is dirty. the surface rust on the fire wall wipes away with a rag. Just needs a good cleaning and Im already starting on the welding. A good day of welding and metal work and my rockers and floors will be brand new and when did you get a Range Rover part of any LR boards?

[bWiLKINS]

Ive had the RRC since last August, its a mint Florida Rover, you could eat off the bottom of it haha. I still take it wheeling anyway but Ive got a Grand Cherokee on 36" TSLs as well that I use for the real hard wheeling days. I havent found many good Rover boards around but you can check out www.discoweb.org and www.pirate4x4.com and www.landroversonly.com

Pirate 4x4 has the best hardcore built stuff, Discoweb is very good for tech.

[G.T.R]

I died, and was re born. GTR still broken, land rover on the other hand, works similar to a well oiled machine. Floors are holey gonna fix it once I find the time but for now still a blast to drive and I have so many spare parts for it now I can build another one. I got a snorkel for it, roof rack, and a ton of stuff, organize a meet so I can run over GTR's :P
