Hi all

Finally got round to registering, been a lurker here for several years as I (very) slowly rebuild my RRC.
Its a 1989 that I have put a 200tdi into, but as I have left it to "mature" for 10 years or so outside pretty much everything else needs a going over too ;)

Welcome to the forum Kev12.
What engine did it have in before?
Time to get a move on before you have 200Tdi powered lace curtain :( ;)
 
V5 has it as a vogue EFi but under the bonnet are stickers for diesel valve clearances etc so maybe it was converted when it was younger?
Anyway when i got it there was a noisy Ford 2.5 DI fitted. I stopped using it about 10 years ago after the gearbox failed, then happened across someone breaking a D1. So i bought engine/box and then had a look under the RRC!
Progress so far - engine & box all fitted etc, all wired in and working. 90% welding done inc box section sills,plenty of patches inner wings/footwells/rear arches luckily its an ali floor in this one so not too bad in the back. Apart from that I just need to recommission brakes/steering ball joints and a few other fiddly bits.

Sounds like you've done a lot of work already. Do you have a target date to get it back on the road?
 
Yeah about 2 years ago was the target :eek:

I don't have anywhere undercover to work on it, plus a 1 year old running about has made progress slow this past year

I did my rebuild on the drive, so know what that's like. My kids are grown up, so I didn't have that commitment at the time. Very time consuming, but much more important than your RR.
