Hi everyone,
I'm a recently new owner to a Range Rover Classic, it is a 1988 3.5 efi.
I purchased this car in March and I've done a few bits to it, new exhaust and injectors, adjusted the flapper unit. Its a great original car with low miles and everything is where it should be, I love how simple this car is to work on, aswell as the robust all metal construction of components, I understand why so many of these cars survive.
Unfortunately a head gasket has gone so I've got to do that soon.
At the moment I'm doing a few patches to common rust areas at the front. I need to do the A pillars ideally but I don't have the workspace to get that involved.
Here are some pictures of the progress.

Essentially yeah on the inside of the A pillar, I won't be welding onto actual rust though. I would much rather repair using one of those sections you can purchase,I plan to do that in the next few years along with the sills =)
 
really struggling to get photos to inlay with the message, hi rallymantoney, the rest of the car is quite good i think. there are parts that will need addressing though, 2 body mounts look bad, one of the light boxes has gone, i cant see anything else that concerns me. its original asides from several dodgy patches. mostly in the footwells and floor.
