This has got to be the guy. Look at his photos there is a picture with a Jaguar with the RRC in the back ground.

Nice work. Definitely him, and backed up by plenty of further evidence of bad taste. . .

Well found a nice set of proper aluminum wheels for this thing. Also a new set of front fenders. I have one rust patch to repair in the footwell on the passenger side. All in all it won't be bad once it get painted.

I've removed most of the crap wiring.

The engine runs on starter fluid. I need to check whether or not the fuel pump is getting power or not. The relay has power. I jumped it with a wire but I couldn't it get it to send fuel up front. So I'll check that wiring out. And try to power it with another battery.

Well getting more done. Taking it back to original has not been easy. I found some good fenders, hood and cowl.

I've been body working those parts. It should be ready to paint next week

Great to see a RRC getting a second shot at life. Seeing to many getting scraped out.

Getlost4x4, ran across this one on the local want ads as being parted out. Sad, seems like another interesting RRC that is about to be no more...

When bad things happen to great trucks - thanks for saving this one.

That would be mine. i had to buy it for parts to fix this one up. getting parts is nearly impossible for the body and interior of these things. But if you saw it, you'd understand why i'm parting it out. There is rat crap and mouse crap everywhere. the roof was also caved in. Its not a good truck

Well it's moving along. Slowly.

I had to fabricate a new driver side floor plan. It's mostly done. Just need to grind down the welds and make it look prettier. Somehow the passenger side is ok.

I put a "new set of fenders up front and a new hood. I also hammer and dollied the rear passenger fender. It's straight again. I only had to use a touch of body filler.

Anyway a few pictures.

That is an impressive transformation. Do you frequently do this kind of work?

 

[getlost4x4]

Yes. My buddy and I have been fixing up Range Rover Classics for the last 3 years to various degrees. This one will hopefully be one of the nicer ones. We like to return them to stock.
