heh, thanks

I have 100's of photos and a very comprehensive rebuild thread I can post up if anyone is interested.

It was very rotten, as all old Range Rovers are, so a lot of welding to the body. New panels bought where available and some modified to fit the 2 door body. The rest was fabricated from sheet.

It's actually 90% finished, going to finish the audio install tonight. Have to wait till Thursday before I can drive it, no point in paying for 1 week of road tax this month.

Do a thread Id be interested!

Time to move with the times me thinks

if my car breaks down it'll take me 2 mins to fix it on the side of the road, at least i dont need a bloody laptop to go in to that ecu only to find its gonna cost me an arm and a leg to fix it. move with the times you say it cost to much to move with them says me!

One spoiler too many imo

and the badge would look better silver or black

Gustov's clio

SS's wheels look way better in that colour than silver, and much prefer his bullets too.

And your private plate looks complete turd, other than that, looks tidy!

The badge isn't too bad but I'd definitely lose the roof spoiler and the blue engine cover I'd personally do something like this:
