Hi everyone ! Well... Where do we start ?! A combination of house moves, overseas work commitments and of course COVID 19 have somewhat delayed the progress of this build. However all is not lost and progress is beginning again at long last. In the last update i was repairing the rusted...

Since the last post I have been sent away with work, I am a serving soldier which makes keeping to planned timelines somewhat difficult at times ! I am away for another couple of months now but have been gathering parts steadily so when I am home in the spring I can really crack on with the...

Morning All, Little update on progress: I have begun on repairing some rust patches on the chassis and set about welding new metal in. From first appearance the chassis seemed in generally good condition with a few small areas requiring attention. However once I began cutting away at some...

Matt, I can only comment on the service and experience I received from V8 Developments as I have not reached the stage of running up the engine yet ! However I found them very helpful. Ray & Acea make you feel welcome and they genuinely are interested in what you are doing and will give honest...

Quick update on the LSE's progress; With the body stripped clean of the chassis I moved onto stripping the parts away from the chassis. Firstly removing all legacy Air suspension lines (these were left in from previous owners coil conversion). Then onto brake and fuel lines. Fuel lines were...

That is what I had in mind. I am still unsure whether to put the ATB in the front diff as well or just leave this as standard open diff. I will mainly be using the LSE on road with the offroading side mainly being wet grass and banks on Shoots, horse races etc so do not wish to compromise...

Morning All ! I am about to ask the most open ended of open ended questions now. So here goes.. How much ROUGHLY is it going to cost for a full respray? The car is currently stripped right down, body off etc . All the panels are off and just the shell is left separate to chassis. I am...

Hi all. I posted a thread in the introduce yourself section, but feel it would be better suited in the projects forum. So I'm reposting in here along with updates since the last post. So... Having recently purchashed a 1993 4.2 LSE i am beginning on the restoration path! The plan is to...

Allthough originally air suspension I am going to keep the coils. Main reason being I plan to keep and use the LSE and I don’t want the unreliability of air suspension. If the time ever comes when I decide to sell then it will be converted back to air to complete the originality. I’d say this is...

Hi everyone, Having recently purchashed a 1993 4.2 LSE i am beginning on the restoration path! The plan is to completely restore all areas as original (or upgrade parts). So far i have removed the engine and have sent it away to V8 developments for a complete overhaul and rebuild. Engine work...
