Thread: 1980 V8 Rangie Build Up.

Well havent done to much for awhile as i sold my Pajero and had to buy a car for the wife, But have stripped the rangie and started sanding and cutting guards and hopefully in the next month or so she will have a new coat of Vintage red..

Looks great mate, Bit of wet dry and a buff should come up A1

I read up on it first, And made sure i did, I think thats why the old paint was so Sh*t, I don't think they primed it right.

I just read this whole thread, and gotta say, you have done a fantstic job so far. I like the black carpets, where you get them from, just any carpet shop, or an autoshop? Also, where did you get the rubber flares from? Im planning on putting bigger rubber on mine (33 12.5 15) so ill be needing to cut guards and put flares.

Good work, keep the pictures coming, they are inspirational

Thanks mate, The carpet is marine carpet which i cut to size and used a heat gun to mould to the Ranige then used Quik grip to hold it down.
I run 33's and bought some 75mm rubber flares which i got from TJM for arounf $80 for a 6 meter roll.
