Thought i'd start a new thread covering the restoration of my 19 year old classic Range Rover
that i recently bought.
Its a 1994 M reg 3.9 Vogue SE Soft dash
It's in need of some tlc and will be on the ramp next week, first job is really to do a thorough
inspection and see exactly what we have to do.
Checking the chassis and floor pan first for corrosion then move onto the mechanics, engine,
gearbox, transfer box, diffs, brakes, cooling system etc
At the moment from my visual inspection when i bought it on the bad list are
Boot floor - heavy corrosion - replace
Drivers foot well - heavy corrosion - replace
Passenger foot well - light corrosion - replace
Bonnet - surface corrosion - strip & paint
Lower tailgate - surface corrosion - strip & paint
Power steering leak - replace hoses
Fuel pipe leak - replace
Abs faulty - possibly a sensor
Drivers airbag faulty - replace
CV joint - replace
Quarter glass seals - replace
Air suspension - remove and fit new shocks & springs
Tyres - some have cracks in sidewalls replace all 5
N/S/R door window - replace motor
Drivers door lock - ?
On the good side
Most of the body looks in very good condition but will need a good mopping
From what i can see the chassis looks in good condition
All door hinges are very good, no play
All door bottom edges are perfect
Sunroof works fine
Hardly a mark on the interior, dash, seats & door cards
A/C works
Fan works
All windows bar 1 work
All door locks bar 1 work
Top tailgate is fine and locks
Motor sounds fine
Gearbox seems to work fine
