Thread: 1980 V8 Rangie Build Up.

Done heaps since i last posted and spent heaps too
Reco'd the raditor and overflow tank.

Installed new Dobinsions Springs and Ranhco shocks 50mm lift

New rims and tyres, Went 15x8 silver sunnys with a Minus 25mm Offset and 33x12.5xr15 Radial claws.

Had to trim the guards and install 75mm flares to cover tyres.

How do you find this setup. I see this combination spring/shock on ebay and thinking about it for the 110. Id like konis but $1k is a lot of dosh just for the shocks on a car that is lucky to do 10000km/yr.

Removed all old brown and tan inteior and replaced with black and just black seat covers for now will get seats re trimed later on.


Checkerplated the sides in the back and made bracket for tyre as that crappy seat belt thingie sucks.

I was going to go with Skyjacker shock from the u.s there only $80 each but had troble getting in time so went the rancho's with the dobinsion springs all up cost only $875

Made some custom door trims outta checkerplate too, What a ***** of a job but in the end come up really well.

Finshed interior


Picked up this air tank from bunnings $20 Mounted in the rear here and still have to run an air line to it.

thanks for the info. your are local for dobinsons. did you get a good price on those. do you have a link for info on the US shocks or are the rancho's just as good.

by the way the rangy is looking great. I like the plate door cards. does the marine carpet stretch neatly over the trans tunnel?

looked after two door rangy's are fantastic value.
