Thread: Two Door Restore 1978

Speaking of your Restoration, if you keep it long enough you might find it worth more than you think...
Father-in-Law brought this cutting over today... Last comment in the text is interesting.

"This Range Rover almost single-handedly created today's booming market in 4x4s"\

Nice clip,Thanks for that,will save that for the future.
I've been watching the uk market for two doors some time now and we may end up exporting cars to them it this keeps up.

As someone pointed out,over there the range rovers dissolve with all the salt on the roads,whereas over here we just wear them out


Feel kinda weird about all this,as in a way,it's been great to seagull out parts from people who have new old stock,used but now obselete gems.
It's part of the adventure when maintaining and restoring old cars i suppose.
This was easy and great fun when no one wanted them,but now with renewed interest,rare bits are turning into dinosaur eggs,or more like faberge' eggs

Hi Guys,

I've been watching this thread for a while now, following Westy1's and Meccles builds with interest. Great work guys.

The clip about the 73 has motivated me to put up a couple of pics of my 2 door restoration. I posted some pics a few years ago in a thread called "two door owners represent", so there might be some more there.

After about 15 years of on and off work my 73 suffix B is almost complete.

I just need to finish polishing, seatbelts and wheels.

Anyway, here's a few pics.



Cheers,

Phil

Stunning job Phil,another white two door represent
Love the early suffix white rear quarter panels colour coded,looks mint.

Here's a bit of an update on the two door
Racked up many miles and currently using the rangie as the daily drive most days.Get withdrawl symptoms if i don't get to drive it for a week..

Bought a vacuum gauge,what a great piece of kit,can diagnose all kinds of engine issues and yes i know, mechanics have been using them for decades,i'm just catching up

Instaling a road speed sensor to improve the idle coming off load.Without it the ecu has to do all the work.

Hmmm. Britpart. Check cable crimps!

Sorry to go back a bit, but some time ago I also bought some Bailey channel from Scotts and had same problem as Discojools, that windows were near impossible to go up or down, ended up wrecking one window winder. He said they were right and I gave up. Got tired it so have now bought 1 set from famous 4 to see how they go. Do you remember what size the alternative Scotts one's are?
Thanks Joe

RRC Door Rubbers in WA or?

There the part numbers for what you need. It's the same stuff these dopey businesses sell, but without the customer abuse.
