Hi, I am new here. I love Land Rovers...... obviously why would I then be here other wise.....😍Well I have a almost basket case Classic, got it for free but it stood for the last 12 years in the middle of the fields in the rain,snow well just about snow at least -7 degree Celsius winters,wind,hail and 30+ summers.
But I will wave my magic wand and blow life back into her. When I get a chance I will put up some pictures.

Cheers

Welcome fellow Rangie owner

Thanx guys..........well she is a cool 1986 four door, 3.5V8, auto. I am removing the fuel injection system and going for a 4 barrel webber conversion.
I have only just started to work on her and have plenty of before photos as I strip her.

I have a 1984 I am rebuilding and a 1988 se I am breaking and putting the efi in the 84.

Do you want to sell your wiring harness and bits off your efi that you are stripping and dont want?

Just looked at your profile, I am changing my auto box for a Manual in mine, will let you know how it goes. Hardest bit so far has been removing the flex plate off the crank shaft.

That will be easy, the slight difficult part will maybe be the peddle conversion. That is my ultimate having a manual V8 Classic, but my wife is disabled and my thought was if for any reason she would be able to drive in a emergancy.

I bought a peddled box when I bought the gearbox out of a disco that was being broke. Simple swap.

Hoooo that is a walk in the park then, cant wait to see a picky when done.

rangy35 · May 11, 2013

OK you asked for it, she was used but not treated very well in her life........with me it will be a different story.

Is there a restriction on newbies before they can post in the for sale section?
