What to do with the old 91

mikieman · Jan 23, 2019

the 91 has been down for about four years now
This what it’s looking like now
I have had a hard time parting with it
So I’ve been taking it apart
I’m close to hauling it to the shredder

Saint.V8 · Jan 23, 2019

Not sure what to do with the RRCL - but the Yukka needs water!

stop being a fag and restore it

mikieman · Jan 23, 2019

It’s a banana tree
And it’s winter
I’ll replant it in the summer
And restore it
Your a funny guy
I have a very nice 92

After I remove stuff
It is going to the shredder

Why?... She looks so sad

Bananas won't help, don't listen to them.

Is the '92 the one behind the mule?

Henry_b · Jan 23, 2019

Fookin 'ell you want to throw it in the shredder because she's a bit rough?

Many people over in the uk would call that a minter a bit of welding, some paint and some engine parts she'll be mint.

I do hope your going to do a proper job stripping her first, every little thing is useful to have as a spare if you have the room for storage. Glass/mirrors/door locks/ window regulators/lights/instruments etc etc etc.

Looks like lots of good bits are on it

people would kill in the UK for a 91 with original inner wings and light boxes on a 91like that.

you're in Miss'ry what else are you going to do go to St Louis and look at the arch ?

Are you mad? Rangies over here in that kind of condition are rare as hens teeth.

Just start a section at a time and get her back together. a few hours a night is enough and within a year, you'll have a lovely rebuilt classic.

Henry_b · Jan 23, 2019

People over here will build a RRC around a fookin binnacle.

If there's anything left of the original you can rebuild it, 'tis what i've always been told..

mikieman · Jan 23, 2019

It is very badly rusted out
I have seen rovers in way better shape
In the scrap yards here
And yes it does have more bits or parts worth keeping
I will take the time to get them

I do have room for the parts
I am not finished removeing stuff
I have garage kept it for all this time
Everything out of the dash
Mirrors relays... buckets of stuff....

Yes that’s the 92 on the other side of the garage
It was sad till I got the other
Then it’s fate was sealed
Parts

Also thanks for the input
‘‘This is good

mikieman · Jan 23, 2019

Both of theses rovers were not running when I got them
Well the 91 was running till I got it home
Then not running
Anyway they were 1000$
Rovers
The 92 is awesome
Perfect no

Is that a Yukka or a banana? Just seen post#4, stick to L R's @Saint.V8

RangeRoller dt · Jan 24, 2019

If you scrap that, you will be kicking yourself in a few years when you see worse going for good money.

Don't let it get on top of you

You've got your $1000 worth, it's all win

mikieman · Jan 24, 2019

So you don’t like my banana tree
should I just kill it
I kind of like it

I like them, got a few in the garden, not in this country though.

Never been to the UK then

Trust me, if you think that is very rusty, don't look at some of the UK ones which need .... er... "a bit of TLC"

Ratae · Jan 24, 2019

Unless you've got photos showing other parts of the bodywork looking like bits of lace what we can see is almost corrosion free.

norseman · Jan 24, 2019

It should be an offence (or is it violation where you are) to scrap a RRC, unless it's a shovel & bucket job

Just out of interest, what made you acquire not just one but two RRC's when, out there, you have the choice of so many homebrewed SUV's ?
