1989 Range Rover Classic EFi - Need Assistance!

Distributor.

There wouldn't be unless it was in the correct place to fire a spark plug ?
first thing to check is what's not there, no spark or no fuel ? i guess no spark as that's what your testing? if it's points clean em up, corrosion will stop them earthing the coil to fire it ?

rusty points will be non grounding so no spark, if electronic ign check the crank trigger isn't cloged with dirt tha'ts solidified over the time standing and check all earths for the loom, TBH i doubt an EFi will still be running points ? some EFi systems use the coil firing to open the injectors (ford EECIV for instance) sorry i don't specificly know the RR system but if it's the same and the injectors are firing then the optical eye is ok and the coil has probably died out and burnt out? i have known then to rust and loose oil then die as soon as used again?
sorry not to be more specific as i say i don't really know the RR system all that well, maybe one of the landrover forum would be more help ??

2 door or 4 door?

You can generally get good panels from a breakers yard/ebay/web forums but if the top panels are manky then it'd be a good guess to say the body panels underneath are shot too.

how good are you with the welder?

YRM Metal Solutions in Durham (UK) will supply you with all the panels you've mentioned there, I got all the bodyshell repair panels for the CSK from them. A lot of the parts come zinc coated too.

The rear bumper/floorpan bit is known as the rear X-member and rear floor. You can't buy rear floors but yours should be ally anyway, good condition S/H one for £20. The rear X-member is not a massive job if you've taken all the body panels off. The sides of the floor might be an issue but depending how bad they are you might get away with just patching.

If those areas are gone the front footwells may also be a little ropey along with the bulkhead in places.

Get some photos up! You've started well though, it runs and it was free!

Looks quite bad that does!

Front inner wings were bolted on the early ones, up to sometime in the early 80's.

If he's having to pay someone for the work and the panels then I can imagine he's going to have costs over £2000 to get all the rust cut out of that properly. Not worth it really, you can get a good condition one for a little more.

It's a shame he changed his mind :/

Nope, that's just the rear bumper trim. The X-member is behind the bumper, where the tailgate hinges are attached. If you lift the rear carpet out it's what the rear-most section of the floor rests on

You might get away with patching the front inner wings but I'm of the opinion of a job's worth doing...

Replacing the inner wings is a pain though, you need to remove nearly everything under the bonnet to get at stuff, time consuming.

I don't know why they changed, may have been a structural decision though.

A pillar/B pillar isn't too hard, although getting it to look decent after can be a little harder.

With the front inner wings you might get away with the repair panels rather than the entire wing. Chances are you're going to be looking at re doing a few brake lines in the process, these need to be removed to do the wings and rarely come apart without shearing.

It'll be good practice for the welding though, by the time you've finished

If you get stuck feel free to give me a shout, I have 100's of photos besides those I PM'd you

you got it running for him then he decided he don't want to give it to you?? , takes the curse word ,

if your getting paid and you feel you could repair it as it needs a lot of welding then go for it otherwise tell him to curse word off coz hes taking the mick!,.
