You could buy another set of guards (they come up on eBay a bit) and chop them to suit then keep your originals for a later resto (if that's what you were thinking of).

Thanks thats a good idea they dont scrape on the back and its only a few ml on the front, would love to give her the resto down the track still vey original inside and out.

Hi,

My 74/81 2 door POS has a 50mm lift and was OK with 31 x 10.5 but then I changed rims to pseudo Hurricane alloys with a different offset and the guards will need a bit of a trim.

Have a spare set of front and rear guards that I won't part with, for a possible future resto. Suggest you start looking for some now as the real value of these things is starting to increase.

Good to see a few people thinking resto down the track, rather than chop and laugh. They are a classic after all.

cheers, DL

Looks good though.

Another 20 years down the track maybe........... then it will be as old as mine!
Just needs to lose 2 doors and all the electronics.

The other option (which may be cheaper) is to put taller springs in (approx $350 fron & rear if you do it yourself)? What if you went to a 50mm lift (or slightly taller) from the 40mm you have? How old is the lift, perhaps the springs have sagged in the meantime?

My 1982 4 Door Australian CKD Pacific Blue Range Rover Classic with hi compression motor, LT95 and high ratio transfer gears.



in need of a cut and polish but very complete and pretty much unmolested considering the age.



apart from the LPG, air conditioning with late model compressor, later model two piece rear seat and the poxy roof rack :P



optional gauges in the early dash



seat belts in the front seat uprights and the clip on head rest pads..



split rear seat



the original seats are in fairly good shape under the seat covers






and 167000 on the clock...

cost me $2.5k all up so far including 6 months reg and rwc etc.

Perfect donor vehicle for a 4BD1 Incisor

Already has the LT95, 0.996 High range
