what would you build with 10 grand

ok, since Grover-98 started the non-RRC option, here's my $10k worth... :D

Don't get me wrong, I love the RRC (I've had a couple), but at $10k you are in P38A territory. I was happy to pick up this beast for around that figure:

• 1999 RR P38A 4.0 V8
• HRA 2" lift plus EAS works great on road and off-road
• Arnott Gen 3 air springs and extended Bilstein shocks
• overall around 5" more travel than standard P38A (which is pretty impressive anyway)
• 33" Bighorns
• ARB rear air locker (operated by EAS compressor)
• 4.1 diffs to compensate for big tyres
• quick disconnect sway bars
• HRA front bullbar

then added at no additional cost as I already had them from my "old" P38A:

• rear bar and tyre carrier
• GME UHF radio
• IPF driving lights
• headlight guards
• DVD/iPod stereo replacement

stuff to do as budget and availability permits:

• snorkel ($ ??)
• rock sliders ($ ??)
• diff and steering protection ($ ??)
• FaultMate SV diagnostics unit ($1500)
• smaller tyres for rego checks ($1000-$1500)

On the road it handles almost as well as a "normal" P38A except it sits a bit higher and the tyre noise level is greater.

Id say keep a eye on fleabay , car sites , papers , and the side of the road , as you will sure find some bargains out there , And if your lucky with a car of that vintage your looking for you will get a few extras with it as well ;)
I know where there is a 2 door RRC on gas dual long range sill tanks bullbar registered for $1500 in vic but your too late as a mate of mine is about to jump on it for $1000 offered :D
That would of been a good start for the project you want;)

thanks guys, all good ideas and suggestions.

If I am going to change, then I would only go for the RRC. I have had a disco and while it was nice, I have always had a soft spot for the classic rangie.

It wont be a daily driver so that makes things easier too. More of a weekend toy :D

Arthur, thats not a bad price but by the time I got it down here, it would be tad expensive for me as I have to keep mind the other extra's I want.

Will keep you in mind tho and maybe have a re-assess it when it arrives and maybe by then I wil have had a good look at others as well.

Ok Mark, best of luck on the projest
I am thiking in driving it to Hobart because the car carriers are asking about $ 1500 to send it ex Brisbane.
First I will post it on the Trading Post
Cheers

PM sent Arthur :D

okay, what about this one. Appears to be good value with a maxi rear and some muddies + he's a forum member :D

will give him a call on the weekend :D

Not bad, I'd try and get it a bit cheaper me but I'm a haggler and don't pay full price anyway but not a bad buy.

Hey MArk,
That '88 is going to be real cheap. You could do worse. I would offer sub 1K, and the rust issues are repairable. You are welcome to any body panels etc that I have lying about out the back. It has a good engine and LT77, with an LT230 still.

It'll leave you HEAPS of cash for some touring mods...:)
