Hi all,
This summer I came over to the UK to buy a 90 from 1986.
The car was used by a Land Rover and Marcos workshop as their customer loan car, than sold to one of their customers who kept it for a few years.
I managed to buy the car and took it home to The Netherlands.
Here is the car when we just got off the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam;
First I removed the rear benches and bought a set of fold up seats
Changed the grill and headlight surrounds to brunel grey ones and removed the A-bar. I also bought a set of new wheels
I tidied up the dashboard. New original LR radio, new speedo etc
The rear door looked quite bad (in my opinion) so bought a new one and had it painted the correct colour. Also had the hinges painted and a set of standard sills painted.
I removed the old wheel carrier and bought one that moves with the door.
As you can see I used the rear door panel from a 2007- on model. With some brackets to the door it fits a treat!!
Other work done so far;
- change reverse light and fog light to round type
- Land Rover badge on the bonnet
- new style PAS reservoir
- a LOT of bolts replaced for stainless steel
- replaced all the oils and fluids
- new filters
- mounted a steering guard
- new rubbers arround the doors
- new rubbers where the glass moves in
- new locks
- replaced all missing and broken trim parts
- correct speedo gear for tyre size
Thats all i can think of right now, but a lot of new parts went in the car. Also a lot of maintenance has been done.
Now i want to change the axles for fresh ones. Also renew all shocks, springs and rubbers.
It's a nice little project![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
