nacnud 474 Report post Posted May 10, 2017 Awesome cheers for that Torton. Still hunting tyres for this thing. If any one has some leads on some 205R16 that look similar to this tread patten let me know. Everything I find looks too modern and lame. Photo below of the Factory Michelin X M+S on it. Awesome tread but way too old and cracked to fang down the motorway on. Any leads on this greatly appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00quattro00 3,496 Report post Posted May 10, 2017 I bought another discovery on the weekend and it has a couple of rrc ross styles on it with 7.5r16 tyres, one looks near new cant remember what the other is like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacnud 474 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 No big updates on Red yet but I did get down to Christchurch for some site visits last week so I got to send some time with the parents and the other Rover... It is a pretty solid truck but needs to go through compliance again as the last owner let it lapse. 1979 and a suffix F so one of the last ones in the suffix range. Nice to have power steering and a few other luxuries that the A does not. This is the good side, other has a bit of panel damage. Tossing up if I should get it through compliance in Christchurch and drive it up or get it on a transporter up to Auckland. Any recommend compliance places in Christchurch?

Their quality of work is outstanding. Some more Land Rover faff to add. Sold my Range Rover LSE, the 4.2 was just too expensive to run as a daily! I do miss the big old thing though. How good is that rear leg room! It has been replaced by an 1998 300tdi Disco. UK model but came over early, it is also a very basic spec which I love. No ABS, AC, Airbags and manual sunroofs. Great parts hauler and camping machine. Also have this 1973 Suffix B stashed which I am trying to figure out what to do with?! 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is pretty much a big Meccano set though, everything is bolted together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacnud 474 Report post Posted May 30, 2019 HPC coated wheels and new tyres give the Suffix B a good facelift. Unfortunately looks like it will be sold. Need some loot for home renovations and hopefully some left over for the Suffix A project... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
