whats wrong with the RR that its going to be scrapped?
Where are the piktures JC?:D
Be sure to organise the weekender for when me and a few fellow hillbilly's are over mid feb:)
I don't think RR classics deal with the constant abuse of rough stuff as well, mine had alot of fatique also, considering it was completely stock when i got it and 45k of my ownership it definately began to show!:eek:Quote:

What needs to be done is roof off, A pillars welded up, roof lining repaired, bulkhead strengthened, dash tightened up, a very, very minor rust issue in one sill,(A bubble basically) and thats about it. I am going to change over to a 110 at this point for the strength and load space, and the ease in which roll over protection can be added. I WILL miss the Rangie, and dearly hope someone will keep it going. It'll also go with the longranger tank, the ACE system (Currently disconnected) and a TJM winch bar.
Still undecided as to its fate really.

IIRC its got a cage?
Hmm, gyro would go well with the air suspension and sway bar disconnect ***vulcher call****:angel:Quote:

The issue being I didn't want the interior of my 'family' tourer to resemble a race car, the 110 can have an external cage and is way cheaper to fit/ manufacture.Quote:

:D I know, BUT the age old weak link of a smaller chassis and body mountings than a 110 still means fatigue and rattles/ squeaks etc etc in the future.Quote:

I will miss the imperious driving position and style of the RR, but a vehicle for life is a Diesel 110 IMHO.

i'll just find another donor vehicle every time i break one, or buy a 100 series:p
Honestly i wish i never cut that 110 wagon up i gave Matt, it was a pearler:(
