You have to love a Range Rover Classic. That old girl doesn't look too bad. Definitely worth saving. I have spent every weekend for the last few months spannering and welding mine.

and me ,I have more pics

That last pic you posted is what I did last weekend but fortunately all but the bottom 1" of the arch was fine so I made up some curves for the corners and fixed it. I had a couple of hours today I spent fitting new petrol tank mounts (the factory ones were rotten) for my twin LPG tanks and new mounts for the auxiliary petrol tank which is going behind the drivers side rear wing.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get the sloping part of the rear floor re-fitted.
I would love a 2 door to go with my 4 door but one project at a time.
I assume you have the 3.5 v8? How's the bulkhead? mine was AWOL along all the edges.

I actually recognise that Range Rover! Glad to see it's in good hands and is receiving some solid repairs to its "play worn" areas.

It's been a while since I have seen a 3 door Range Rover in the flesh, all you see these
days are the 5 door more moderns usually in white(washing machines on wheels)

My parents have had 2 three door Range Rovers, one of which we shipped to the Isle of
Mann where it was turned into a 6x6 Range Rover fire engine.

JPB ,where have you seen it before ,it would be good to any infor ,on its history

I went to school with one of its former keepers. He's a private sort who has no web presence that I can find but he works for Jaguar/Land Rover as an ADI on one of their training facilities somewhere in the North Midlands and has been into these things since we were in our teens, when he restored his parents' S2A station wagon. Two Range Rovers were owned by him when he had the one in this thread, the other was used as his daily transport and was, IIRC, brown and was the less rusty one of the pair.
Last I heard from him was when he was about to have his 40th birthday party back in January 2005. I was going through a spell of relapse at the time so couldn't move from my bed much less get to some dumb party, he took a scunner to me at my sheer cheek for daring to refuse that invite and I've not been in touch with the daft bugger since!

thanks John, if you ever meet up again ,could you ask him for any infor on the RR ,pic or the like please .

small world

That wouldn't be a problem, though TBH, I'd sooner eat my own eyes than have anything to do with him after the way he behaved toward me at a time when I most needed my friends!
However, in the interests of classic car preservation, if he remembers my 50th or invites me to his , I'll ask about the car before telling the stuck up wee twunt where to get off.
