I was Told you won't use all of what's in the lift kit, you'll probably have to make some adjustments yourself.

Re: LRA Flares , IMO they look nicer in Black Trim , as apposed to Colour code , but that's something personal.

I will have a close look at this before I rush into it. The radiator is going to a trusted radiator place to be cleaned and have the rod treatment if needed so will be out of the way.
My old 2 door has bar raised and radiator lowered but has a very rough body lift as not engineerable.

Finished yet?

juz kidn,looking forward to seeing your project as you get stuck into the serious bits

we want pics

Well I'll be, have a look at this!

I've always said I'll find a way My best mate is very good with composite OR do I just spend the 2K I think this set up would help solve the reliability problems with roots style blowers and the Rover V8
I never thought of using composite as a housing. May be bad if we have a LPG backfire though

Had the Rangie out to day on a mates property and hit a rather immovable object in long grass at 60 kmh It was bad, The rangie bounced up and went side ways. we hit the roof and my tool box cleared the rear seat. I wont mention what happened to the beers
Now has clunk clunk noise in the front. About to take some measurements as concerned the chassis may be bent. The gaps look OK so I may be lucky. Stuffed an alloy rim


It was an out of use 6" steel cased water bore. Moved it 3" or more I wish people would mark hazards out sometimes The diff housing appears to be straight and tail shafts seem OK

I'm now bloody sore so it hit hard.

I'll put it up on stands tomorrow and have a good look wile in motion.

Just plumb bobbed the chassis and come with in less than 1/16 I'll explain the process latter.

Got to be lucky sometimes! I do have a spare D1 chassis here waiting for a new home...

Would this be worth it? Looks like it may squeeze under the blower.

Just about the same cost as the Blower ... or half a Rangie ...

Won't a air intercooler work??
