From this

A slight improvement!

Managed to acquire a Lightstone parcel shelf, rare as shyte in good condition.

And very expensive to post because of its length

In other news this has appeared

Luckily you can't see it from 5 steps

Need to refit the chair trim and carpet trim, once I fix the sunroof leak

You might as well scrap it and cut your losses

Took her 'orf road'ish.

4x4 still works

You did well there, shame bout the delivery but to get good one not broken. They do take a hammering but mark from dog paws

Also decided to move her up a few feet to give me incentive to clear out the old barn, gotta do it some day!

But then reliased the Fat bitch won't fit between the doors

Also decided to compare to a standard "4x4"

Of course that made for a shameless photoshoot.

That light blue car looks dirty!

I think you need to clean it.

Fat Fudge

Make door bigger, it’s a LRin’ shed anyway so needs to suit purpose

Henry_b · Aug 31, 2019

Might have to face facts..

The fookin' rear core plugs are leaking

Why can't it be the easy ones!

Hmm..

Gives me opportunity to do the engine and gearbox swap i have in mind..

In short.

I want to pull the 4.6 and rebuild it, then stuff it in the D2.

Then with a big hole in the RR that needs filling, i want a 5.2 Stroked Rover V8 with all the kit.

Merlin heads - fast road cam - LLoyd ECU and loom

etc etc

just a proper kit.

Just thinking out loud!

marjon · Aug 31, 2019

Think as loud as you want

When we replaced the engine in the autobiography, I so very nearly chose the 5.2 stroked top hat. But was away at the time and all the extras was a pain. M needed a car

we air freighted a V8 engine from UK to here

.

You have time and age on your side (plus spare vehicle). Money might be the problem though

.

Nothing wrong with a 4.6 disco

Money will be an obstacle!

Or i'll keep to the rationale and just build my 4.6 and plonk it back in the p38!

Don’t always win in the head though

Get them sorted first then, play

Would love to see how that would work with the P38, it is a tad more complicated.

I've already contacted them about it and they said it was too complicated to convert.

And that was converted by london electric and it was 50k all in. so eh.

And that doesn't make a v8 noise.

a fully built 5.4 RV8 is 5k.

But even thats too rich for me.
