I'm thinking we should get the LRA body lift kits done on both Rangies 1st
Then do the diffs cvs etc.

I can do the flares latter or matt can if he manages to escape from Vic. Think I may need his help to get the blower to work in harmony with the Delco/Haltech engine management.

Have to see how we go for time as I don't want them all in pieces for to long like my other project are

You have mentioned getting my work and some of the project done... There are two other important things we have to make time for....... The fridge & fire and a tour of the Farm and local

The 2 door safari... I have no pics of proof yet... But believe me it has a bloody bad leak in the roof now

No worries lifting an engine here as have a chain block, front end loader or a back hoe to chose from

I have to get rid of that 45 series cruiser thats in the way

Yea yea

I've just finished my last paying job till i get back from the simpson, so all I need is to give my RR some love and look at maybe getting up that way before I leave, no promises, flares a a peice of cake, a full day includeing lots of beers to look at them, you wan't some aluminium tape (rust repair in a roll) for sealing the back doors

The simo This is one ambition I have for the 120. Lucky I haven't as has sheered the bolts off the drive flange on the sals That would have been nice in a massive sand pit with a 4BD1 and 10 spline match sticks in the front

Will get some alloy tape. Thanks for that, it had me a bit worried in that area.

I hope you can drop in some time regardless of the project. When we get this thing sorted Khos and I are planning a terror run to a certain part of Vic

I'm riding Tojo style this one In the old mans troopy, along with Kimberely Camper in tow, luxury booze trip

Will organise a trip when you get down here......but be warned, not to many rovers in my lot, and lots of well seasoned boys thick skin is a little more than a prerequisate

They are a bit scary to fit to the rear doors You have to get them right or look bloody awful as must fit square and same height to the front I already have the angle grinder and thin disk with the Rangie parts so don't get used up on the farm

If you thinking some benzine and matches for the cruiser so was I for a wile Its not insured any more is the only problem
If I don't get it done I will drag it out of our way and shove it back in latter on although I need to finish it before the rego expires as may be hard to blue slip with the mods

that's not what I kinda had in mind , but now that you mentioned it If you can drag it out and push it back into the shed later , then no biggies.

At least you know the troopy wont break Nice hear you are spending some good quality time with your old man. So many don't get around to it these days.

Well as for down your way if the HJ 75 that fell in the twigs a wile back is any indication I'd say your lot are very well seasoned. At least they will be able to take the psss out of the Rover I guess as most do. I will have to refrain my self so I dont break it down there as to far from home so I wont be doing anything to stupid... I hope

I didn't feel like going down to the work shop after the last few weeks as feel to stuffed and have been a bit off colour.
I will make an effort to start clearing the junk out of the way at least over the next few nights. Now have a deadline so must get it done

"There is only 2 vehicles worthy of ownership if you wan't to head into the australian outback, The Toyota Landcruiser and the Range rover..............but only one if you want to make it back"

Khos has some holidays approved So is coming up here around the 26/7. Well I have to say I'm still not well organized
I have been getting out side contract work that I dint really have time for on top of my own work load here. So there has been no spare time at late. Even the 120 is still out of action

If it wasn't for Khos coming up this project would never happen the way were going here. With his help and inspiration things will get moving.
Will be lot of junk the first day

Err anyone have Mr Scrapie's phone no! He will need a B-Double
