VEHICLE
SPECIFICATIONS
Land Rover - Range Rover, 1980 or so, 2
door, bought from Sahara Parts for R 11 000, partially rebuilt.
What I got:
- Vehicle had no engine, radiator or
gearboxes.
- All axles had already been rebuilt, with new
bearings and brake disks.
- The body needed some rust removal, the upper
tailgate needed a good dose of anti-rust and some paint, while the lower
tailgate needed a new lower panel since the old one was mainly body putty.
It also needed a new spray job but was otherwise in very good condition.
- The chassis was galvanized as where all the
front engine bay panels.
- The dash and instruments where complete and
neat.
- The interior trim was redone, some places did
need re-doing though.



What I did:
- Remove and adjust the differentials, re-fitted
them after swapping front and back to minimize whine.
- Replaced the front springs with 110 Diesel
front springs
- Fitted Monroe Shocks
- Fitted Iron man suspension bushes
- Spray painted the dash black using Sprayon
vinyl spray paint
- Fitted a newer steering wheel and steering
wheel cover
- Re-built the center console to take the BMW
auto gearlever and Disco H-N-L / DL lever
- Removed the clutch pedal and master cylinder
- Fitted Gearbox temp, engine oil
temperature/pressure and a volt meter
- Powder coated all the door handles
- Fitted Nissan 1400 side mirrors
- Fitted the cable type Disco hand brake system
