Thread: Few pics of my first Isuzu Rover

Here she is, probably the worst condition isuzu rrc one will see, possibly one of the first conversions though. It's a 78 rangie converted about 20 years ago and owned by the last owner and his brother for much of that time. The engine seems to start first kick but is a bit smokey until warmed up, I'll get JC to check it over. The lt95 changes perfectly and has only a couple of oil weeps not leaks, which puts my 81 rrc to shame. Has a ramsey 8000 winch which works perfectly and a huge custom made fuel tank. The brakes don't work the interior is stuffed, most has gone to the tip. All suspension bushes stuffed. All panels stuffed. Rust in some of the door pillars. But.... that engine, I love it. Spent a bit of xmas day driving around in our sheep paddock. Idling over drains, putting around, giving it a bit. I couldn't get enough. I thought I had the landy bug under control, but this isuzu thing has changed everything. I hope my partner understands.
Oh, can anyone guess the dogs name.

Hell yeah Pete, get the good panels voer to the old chasis, or vise versa. Either way it will make one good isuzu Rover. The question now is, what will you do with it, will it be the replacement for the Disco, or will it be a project to sell off later?

Ill catch up with you soon to check it out personally
