Indeed I do! The green one isn't standard anyway. It has a 5L stage 4 je tuned and blueprinted TVR Griffiths V8

It is also lowered with bilstiens. All of this will be refreshed and improved. The most mods will be to the interior. I'd have thought

Moving along slowly on the Range Rover. I removed the front axle this evevening.

Hopefully over the weekend I will have all of the sundries off the chassis and can start checking for any repairs that need to happen before it's refinished. Also I have discovered that the O/S trailing arm is bent so will need to be replaced.

Yeah getting there! I'm thinking I may now take a wire wheel to the areas that may need attention and then do any repairs needed. Then have it blasted and coated in one go. Still unsure about galv or epoxy paint

Good idea with the wire wheel for doing the chassis

Too many decisions and too many options. I have heard excellent things about buzzweld 2k chassis armour 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

That is a big problem for you, just glad its not me having to make the decision for you

as for the Buzzweld, a few on here have used it and speak quite highly of it

Not much as I've been very busy with work. Hopefully I'll get a bit more done after the bank holiday

Well I've had a day on the Range Rover today

Managed to get the chassis stripped to basically bare (minus turrets and bump stops). I've found one bit of welding so far which isn't bad at all!

Hopefully over the week I'll get it steam cleaned off, ready for prep and repair.
