Classic Range Rover Trialer Project.

Evening All,

Just thought I would share my latest project I picked up recently. I believe its an old competition trialer built in the 80s to 90s. Mainly going on the style of the build. I plan on bringing her back to life and doing so off roading in it. Shamefully it was originally a very early two door with a 3.5 v8 with 4 speed box and overdrive. The original engine and box did come with it but not fitted. Still has the overdrive attached. It's currently fitted with a 3.9 with carb conversion.

So any tips and ideas are welcomed. I will add some pictures!

Have you had it running yet ?

Yes it took a few days of hunting for parts I had and some fresh fuel and service. But she runs like clockwork. I would upload a video but the files are too large. I will look and see if I can change the file size at some point.

I think the way to do the Video is to put it on You Tube and post the URL (link), works on other Forums, lets try it lol ....

Like this one of my V8 SLK launch to the ton ....



Yes, that's it that works here too

Here we go this is one of the short videos of her running.

Sounds good at the rear…
Looks like a fun project

That the sound of proper fun.

Yep, sounds well .........................

Personally in this wokeist snowflake society I'd fit silencers to it, can have a lot more fun in a lot more places when these sort of toys don't draw attention to where you are and what your doing

Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard petrol head and you can't beat the sound of a V8 on open Exhausts

Sadly and seeing what these people are pushing for atm it'd be a shame to draw more objections by morons who should go get a job and do summat useful with their time

Keep up the good work

Completely agree,

I'm planning on putting one of those exhaust valves on and diverting the flow to a big tractor silencer I've got. So when I'm playing I can switch to incognito mode
