Rebuilt my 110 Again - Land Rovers Only

TerryS · 09-03-2008, 11:36 AM

After nearly 100K, NAS110s get tired, so I bit the bullet, tore it down and rebuilt it. It's finally back together. New doors, sills, T piece (B pillar) and body cappings. I broke with tradition (at least late model tradition) and went back to galvanized body cappings. I labored over the roll cage color. Everyone else who deviated from the white cage went with black, but I opted to keep it body color (Conniston) Wheels and roof are Alpine. I figured after all this, she wouldn't look good without new shoes, so I went with 255x85 RVXTs.

Wait a minute! Is this the same one that was White before you started..haha. MAN that is one hell of a good looking paint job!!! You've hit me in the soft spot. That Conniston Green is beautiful and PURE Rover! Well done! Nice touch with the body cappings and body-colored cage.

Terry,

I am a total newbie here, but that vehicle is what gives the Land Rover tradition it's look and charm. Very nice, well done sir!

Terry, Looks nice! What tires did you buy? Are you going to Guy's F. weekend?

Kevin

TerryS · 09-07-2008, 03:20 PM

Hey Kevin. The treads are Dunlop RVXT, 255x85R16. I took it to NH thursday, and just got back. They give a great ride, and did the modest trails with ease.
No on the guy Fawkes thing. I have something on one or both days of every weekend from now till mid November.
The 3" of Rain was sideways in 60 mph wind on top of Mt Monadnock sat night, so I found out that these engines down't like big slugs of water down the snorkel. The air filter was soaked and choking the hell out of her.

Beautifull, beautiful truck!!! You know how women are ??? and how teenagers are ???

Well....mix the two togheter and get this : There I am, salivating at the full size picture of your 110 on my little 19 inch computer screen, and my 16 year old teenage daughter walks by and says: '' damn that's ugly!!!! looks like a shopping cart !!!

Almost piss my pants. But it got me thinking. This truck would be for me, a vehicle in which I would feel very proud to be seen driving around in. On the other hand, my daughter and her friends and most likely most women, would think that this is probably the ugliest thing on the road. On that note, back in 2000 when I was shopping Discoveries, while on patrol I stopped at the local Land Rover dealer to look at them. That time I had a female partner and she said that that thing was ugly and that it reminded her of a big Lada Niva.

Go figure...Women.... can't live with them...and would rather drive around without them!!!

My 2000 D2 is coniston green too. Love that color but my wife hates it
