Thread: 85 Range Rover ground up rebuild with 4BD1T & MSA

This is her the day we picked her up. The 110 in the back ground is our other landy. 4BD1 with T03 off a vl turbo.

Hey Ben,

good to see you posted your work.

Cheers

once i got it down to bare chassis gave it a good clean and proceeded with strengthening and and a few mods. I once bent the rear mounts for triangle bush to rear radius arm so i plate them top and bottom. Added bracket to front of chassis to lift bullbar with body lift and also a mount for front mounted steering damper. With v8 engine mounts gone i have land rover 110 4bd1 engine mounts fabbed and welded 90% complete i still have to make gussets back to spring hanger.

I for one welcome a new 4BD1 build thread. I never get sick of these!

Same colour and year as my Rangie (I'm keeping the V8 though), best of luck with the build.

Found myself an arb non-winch bullbar for couple hundred bucks to modify and fit warn hi-mount.
