Resurrecting the old lady

In a momentary loss of concentration as my FIL calls it, I acquired a 1976 Range Rover Classic a few months back. I was getting tired of commuting with the Defender and decided to have a dedicated commute and fun vehicle.

Been a labour of love thus far and non to cheap I must say. In fact all links to financial logic have long ago been jetsoned but then again being a fisherman and serial boat owner that was not to difficult:)

I have:

- had her resprayed
- rubberised inside
- dashboard been rebuilt
- electronic ignition fitted (Man, no MAN the V8 sounds AWESOME!)
- fuel tank repaired
- winscreen washer replaced
- springs redone

Still have the following left to do:

- upholstery complete being replaced (black headlining, olive seat and panels)
- second bettery system fitted (CTEK 250Dual + Deltec 105AH)
- Front Runner 6 ammo box drawer system with 45 l Campmaster fridge/freezer fitted
- FIL to make my console box, covered in black leather
- Fir booming sound system :)

Camping goodies are also making their way in:

- Hannibal Impi RTT
- CampMor Bedouin Awning
etc etc

Can't wait to head out to Struis soon or two eScape2 to the Breede for the first summer Spring!

looks great, how about a pic of the interior.

Before I take on the big sleep one day I would like to rebuild a short wheel base Landy, and add some bling to it

Careful it is addictive :)

Interior being done this week (olive khaki seats and black headlining) and drawer system to be added next week - will take some pics and update then.
