please comment if you have real input :)

I have a plan to build the best possible Range rover classic from the best parts from the whole range rover series.
they alle had their god and bad tings. and i love the look of the Classic, but would like it to be a daily driver.
with mostly on road drive , with some horse trailer driving , and 2 yearly trips thru europe.
would like it to be updated with climate control with vents to back seats. heated seats front and back...

what should i get from what ?

I was thinking:
-Engine and transmission : m57 + 6hp28x ( strong and plentiful )
-keep the RRC axles ( not much difference to the P38 )
-L320/322 complete wiring (except for engine )
-L320/322 interior and dashboard
-L320/322 ABS and air suspension control ( will work better than RRC and P38 systems )
-Transferbox i am not sure if keeping the original Borg and warner or change to a new one that works with the computers inside.

I am fully aware of the complicity of the project, but the RRC will be supplying frame axels and body.
another RR will supply wiring ,and interior .,,,
and a BMW engine will be the last part in this ,but as it is all Canbus it should be possible to get the systems to talk together.
and in worst case the engine will work as standalone.

suggestions for better part compatibility and ease of installation , or other suggestions

Welcome to Landyzone.
thank you , i have been lurking here for a while with out creating a profile, i am close to ending my CJ7 Jeep project so i have been looking into a RRC project , think I was in one 40 or 45 years ago .. and loved the combination og style and proper 4x4 ability
 
It’s a start. A proper one.

What size wheels/tyres will you have on it?
tire size is always difficult, because of suspension height is influencing it a lot. i would like to go maybe 18 or 19" for sure not going for 22" to not enough tire to drive comfortable.
but pretty sure it will be beluga black with , alurims and brown / cinnamon seats. i was close to buying one with that color combo, but it was so rusty , that i would have spent a lot on rust repairs before the rebuild could begin.
