Pulling all the custom stuff of my old one now and cleaning it up.
 
Fixed all the computers and the engine..interior has been gutted and getting detailed and rustproofed...just like a big mechano set now and have to put it all back together and give it a good cut and polish then it will be on the market!

Not everyone thinks a cramped cabin with crap seats, crap air con and a ****ing handbrake that sticks in your leg is the bane of Land Rovers :eek:
 
If you're going to own a Land Rover, you may as well have the best :D
 
By the way, nice POS38 Stienzy...sorry P38 (just taking the ****). Hope you didn't pay too much for it :cool:

Its a 97 with 150,000 on the clock very clean inside and out.  Service history through Graeme Cooper. averaged 12L per 100Km on the highway on the way back.

They go well on the highway aye. I drove my dads P38 down to Sydney to pickup a machine .. averaged 13.4 the whole trip! 
Is it still on the original engine? lasting well if it is

Nice bit of kit Steinzy.
But I must admit that I do agree with Camo. I've never heard of anyone buying a P38 twice.
I really hope you have a good run and a good time with it.

Very true but on account of a faulty airbag...once that was sorted no issues....like anything that has 10 years wear and tear on it you can expect to have issues....so as things break i will replace them with aftermarket parts just like any classic owner has done....will look at doing a body lift then throw the arnott air springs on it and with the long travel bilsteins from the red truck shold get the same travel as your truck ;)
 
not bad concidering their will be no comprimise on comfort:cool:

I think what we are getting at is that a P38 is harder to mod than a classic, not impossible though. I like a challenge, but that's a bit too much for me and quite content with my old dunga. it's rough, noisy, fuel guzzling and gutless but i like it :)
 
Also with the P38's the height sensor needs to be lengthened or else you'll throw the air suspension into chaos if you put longer travel shocks in :eek: Unfortunnatley you'll never get the travel out of a p38 that a classic can achieve primarily because the 38's don't have the a-frame set-up and use a panhard rod like a Pootrol does. This is why the classic Rangie had superb std wheel travel in it's day.

Nice one Steinzy, love the interior. See you on the tracks again soon eh.
 
I take it you will be powder coasting the bars black to match or are you going for the 80's red and black two tone look:D
Aye, Mick
