Our RRC - before and after :)

[rustyrhinos]

The Rangie is now pretty much complete. I came across a photo of when we first got it...looks quite different now and amused me somewhat so thought I would post up a before and after shot

It now has...worked head, tubular manifolds, Jacobs "high energy" coil, home-made 8mm ignition leads, waterproofed ECU, coil etc, home made snorkel, spring lift, body lift, dual rear shocks, 265 tyres (show in pic are the road tyres), castor correction arms, hd steering arms, guards, twin battery, winch, removable rear towbar inc NATO style hitch and various other things . Its a 3.5 V8 EFI

I call this the "Redneck My Ride" makeover

I take it the top one is the after. Certainly looks better with all that off road **** taken off it.

 

[goonarmy]

does look like a ****ter in comparison but i bet its fit for purpose. my old man said i ruined my classic when offroading it.It was a 650 quid motor!

I thought it might be good for some amusement to folk on here

The paint went like that by itself for some reason - that weird mottled dull effect was not deliberate!

Handbook says "wash with a soft sponge, using warm water and car shampoo"

Actual wash technique = 200bar jet wash and TFR?

I think being in a desert in a middle of no-where is a good way to "waste" time in a 4x4

Just how many deserts are there in Lincs.

Damn, you caught me out!

Joking apart your motor looks ok. Not sure about paint job and hazard tape though.

 

[rustyrhinos]

Thanks

The hazard tape was for a bit of a laugh really! And the paintjob just ended up being like that - it just sort of bubbled peeled off (crap respray by the previous owner I think)

Yeah that would do it. Always better to use an isolator if you don't know what's on it.

Oi, it did not have nice paint - we bought it looking like it had nice paint but it all fell off with no extra help!

I am only but a shadow in your greatness.
