Thread: Projects

My projects are also going too slow, mainly due to lack of money, but also problems with the DD stressing me out.

Maybe if you start a build thread in members rides section people will push you to finish it.

Mine should be back on the road this week lockee! Hurry up would ya😊.
Oh you need a more user friendly workshop😉

Okay my 92 (late 91 actually) is currently has no driveline, I bought a 95 Disco donor to transplant the 3.9, auto and LT230 into the 92 Rangie (still waiting for it to get here, the towing mob hasn't picked it up yet).

The 2 door (1980 with the P76/LT95) ended up a full resto of the body inc. body mounts which were a bit past there used by date Still this is a long term project but working mostly 5 1/2 -6 days a week makes not much time to play with Rovers. Has been sitting on the stands for @ 7 months, looking really sad atm

Well with a few weeks off over Christmas I may get time to sort out the 92 Rangie then get stuck into the 2 door, would like that finished at least by this time next year (famous last words ).

Trav

I've just got to replace the inlet manifold and stick the front driveshaft in then it will be drivable again. From there it's only the passenger front seat and deck the back out for camping.

Got to pull my finger out, it's been like that for months now.

No time and even less money ...... Isn't that just what we call "normal life" I have a rangie with it's front end in bits .... probably with a locked up borg warner transfer case, and 4 other cars in varying states of decay that I drive. Probably just spending $1000 on each of them would absolutely transform there reliability and drivability (eg: windscreens, batteries,tires, suspension boots, tie rod ends etc...).

Hey I manage to put fuel in them sometimes to drive them though. What else could you ask for I'm driving one today that needs a bonnet ('cos I put it over the roof last year) .... It's all fun right though

I've spent every spare second for the last 6months nearly on an old caravan.... Hopefully I'll be able to spend some time on cars now.... My wife is making really strange suggestions like "cleaning yard, mowing grass, fixing stuff, gardens, etc" .... and all sorts of horific suggestions of what my limited spare time can be spend on.

I'm going to chase up an LT230 for it ..... I don't understand why anyone would refit something that's known to break with no warning

The bonnet is on an old 1963 Citroen .... I doubt you have one
