So a while ago one of my customers bought this...  1994 Range Rover EFI After about a minute we decided it may be a bit too rotten and anyway I needed a V8 for my stockpile of "interesting junk"   So now I have this 3.9 in nice running order and about 100k on it..  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm |

heh heh, actually need to sort out some rear suspension bushes and a new steering rack and a set of shocks before I even consider pulling the engine out. I'd rather V8 another Victor but haven't found a suitable one yet.
I think the drop suits it well, not gone too mad with it.
Wheels and tyres next, watch this space.

So, ever had one of those days? Well, I did yesterday and to top it off, when I went to go home I found I had no lights. Poo. Anyway, after a ridiculously early start this morning, I stripped out the dash to get to the headlamp switch which was chief suspect (I only have 4 fuses and they were all fine).  Thank Lucas for dismantlable switchgear! After a bit of fiddling and the removal of 35 years of gack and splarb, I'm back in action   If you've ever wondered how many screws are used to hold the dash into a 1975 Vauxhall FE, the answer is lots. Anyway, an interlink driver dropped in a couple of packages from sunny Staines...  This made me rather happy.. In fact, I got so carried away I lost all focus on work, time, hunger etc so I did this...  Then buggered off to do this  then came back and did this....   Which means I now have this    and I still can't concentrate, in fact I've just had to go outside to look at it again just to make sure a by-product is that I've cured the squeak from my glovebox lid too. Bonus |

Cheers, all credit to Jamesp for his legendary awesomeness with the wheel situation.
When I'm a bit less excitable, I'll try to take some pictures in focus.... it was all too much today.

That is the nuts! I have a soft spot for 70's 80's vauxhalls and this is one of my perfect vauxhalls. I love the colour, not so sure about the White writing however. I reckon the slot mags would suit!

Nice. I still prefer it without the dog-dishes on the wheels though. With them off it looks.. Mean.
Congrats on wiring, that can be a real pain.

Subtract the hubcaps again! Looked all kinds of bad without them!  |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |
