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.

all in all a top truck!

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.

Cheers

From what I can remember it went down more times than a pro in a Kings Cross brothel on a friday night. Well that was just the rover park trip.:cool:

Your a gamer man than me to buy another 38.

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
