New Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8 2-door from 1982

Thursday 26 nov. 2009 I bougt another Range Rover Classic (see photo, left is Andy, former owner), an oldie from 1982!

The reason I bougt one from this age is, it's an oldtimer now and that's why there are much less rules in modifying the car, e.g. bobtail the rear-end and also shorten the frontside, change the engine for a much bigger one, trow away the roof, but still be street-legal!

This is because of the Dutch law / carregistration, checked by the RDW

Friday the 26th I went to the RDW and the customs to import the car (bought it in Belgium near the French border) and set the papers on to my name, everything went well, so now I can make the modifications I want. So first make a plan what and when to do, and when ready (yeye, that will take some time!) then go back to the RDW for a final check, APK en another registration.

I'm not sure what I wanna change, this list I know:

- bobtail the backside

- shorten the frontside

- big, very big mudtires

- higher the suspension

- make an roll-over and safety cage

- good lights on top

- make it so it can drive true deep water and mud, snorkel, exhaust, axle-breathers, etc.

- when ready paint in matte black with orange details / signs

I haven't decided yet, but thinking about:

- make it an pick-up truck

- remove the roof

- exhaustpipes left and right going up to the sky

- change the engine now it's an 3.5 V8 on LPG (not running, maybe a little work)

am considering make it an big but leightweight diesel, or an bigger petrol / LPG

- different winches, probably hydraulic

- yes or no an backseat(s)

- maybe a spare tire on the motorhood

Some dreamcars!!

some pic's from the internet, the yellow monster is called the Pig and drove the Ladoga rallye, awesome!!

Caught in action!

Near home, in Rotterdam, sunset on a beautifull sunday night!

with Luigi and Ronnie, and of course a multi purpose Range Rover Classic 200Tdi

Ronnie & Richard to Sunset Grooves!

after a great night of latin house dance music, mixed by dj's Roog, Lucien Foort, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, the night ended very abrupt with big riots! We luckily missed the shooting and fights, and went home in a big traffic jam.... NOT hèhè, the festival was on the beach, so we drove on the beach from Hoek van Holland to Scheveningen!

Yep, you're not allowed to make fun in Holland, but even the police couldn't stop us from doiing this! At a cost, see the picture, got fined yeah!!! (90 euro's!!)
