Very nice looking classic. you've put a ton of work into her! although i can't say i agree with your sign there welcome to the forum.

[Sith]

Thanx for the welcome , I thought this was LANDROVER ONLY ... not Toilet floater , Merc ,Nissan Bitsashitty or anything else forum ??
So the sticker stands

Yeah there has been a whole lot of work blood scrapped knuckles and emptied wallets and bank books , but she is exactly what i want

[Funrover]

That is FRIGGEN SWEET!!!!! You have done a lot of work to it....... Looks great...... One of the nicest RRC's I've seen!

Did you fold the metal behind the rear door after cutting the MT/R lugs?

Mine looked like that on my last RR before the 'fold'.

Sith, I am curious why you posted your Rangie in the Hybrid section rather than the Classic or show it off sections. Is it because of the motor change?

Well the motor is A DISCO , the grarbox is a DISCO the transfer is a DEFENDER 1998, the front CV'S are 110 County 1984 , the Diffs are Disco 24 spline with MAXI DRIVE LOCKERS 1998, the rims are DISCO 1998 which have again been modified ,the bonnet has a NISSAN scoop in it , headlight inserts and rewired .....

so with only really the body and chassis RANGE ROVER , what would you have put it in under ?

[p76rangie]

It is just that I have never thought of my Rangie as a Hybrid. I had just always thought of it as a modified Rangie. You just got me thinking as to when does it cease to be a modified Rangie and becomes a Hybrid.

Forum thread title states :


Hybrid
Got a Land Rover with a Range Rover Engine? A Bowler, a Tomcat? This is the place for you!

[p76rangie]

You actually have a range rover with a landrover motor.

[Sith]

You would appear to be a pedantic individual , I wish you wouldn't get all precious on me .
If you have a clarifacation YOU need sorted out , or YOU want my posts re-assigned to other threads YOU get hold of the MOD'S .
It would appear that my answers don't apease your quiries .


Please , contact the MOD'S .... or seek a counciling service in your neighbourhood .

Lotsa Love and dribbles
