Hi, I guess its about time I join a forum, I've had my 88" S3 for 14 years now. Over this time it's been V8 converted with LPG, overdrive and Rangerover diffs, Mondeo radiator and fan, plus so much more. To fit the radiator I've added a Stage 1 V8 looking fiber glass front panel and bonnet but looking for a Landrover front panel badge if anyone has one available?
Currently it's undergoing a big overhall as after 14 years of me using it as a heavy haulage machine and general abuse. So I've put a half chassis on it, all new rear suspension and brakes. Fully reconditioned the seat box including making a stainless steel tool box / battery box under the passenger seat. I've also fitted a pair of Rangerover P38 tubular exhaust manifolds, only I've put them on back to front so they exit forwards for the tight space needed on a series V8 conversion. I've made a complete custom stainless steel exhaust including a pair of lambda sensors for the Air/Fuel ration gauge that's now fitted.
Here is a photo of it a few years ago it's now fitted with Toyo Open Country tires and I cant recommend them enough.
Here is what I mean by heavy haulage
I guess I should start a thread with the repairs and upgrades I've done over the last 14 years or so.
One question though, my insurance is due for renewal and I have the option for an agreed valuation, but where do I get a valuation from, how on earth do I find the value of this old truck?
Cheers
