Range Rover Pro Street - or race, Pro Show....

[Modellpularn]

Have I showed you guys this one before?? My memory is getting worse.... Anyway, it's an ESCI kit that I crossed with Monogram's "White Lightning" Pontiac. Wheelbase on both cars were identical, so no cutting was needed. Almost a drop-in of the old Pro Stock chassis into the Range Rover. Just some "minor adjustments"...... It's been sitting for some years now, as I was probably planning one of those superdetailed projects.... no more! Now I'll apply the KISS method: Keep It Simple Stupid..... The plan was to go with the tunnelram and big Dominators, but I think a set of high injectors would be wild, he he! Here it is, the "Agitator"

I might build a Firebird 4X4 with the leftover parts.....

[camaroman]

alright, finish it already. can't wait to see it!

[Modellpularn]

I'm working on it...... have done some assembly on the front and rear ends.

Hans,

This is a very interesting consept, and one I like. In my opinion, if you are going wild with the Rover body, she just screams to be Injected....... will look real sweet with those stacks sticking thru the hood..........

Nice work so far.......

I was wondering what color to paint the old "brick", and asked my buddies on our swedish forum. One guy, a real close friend, came up with ORange, which would suit it, since someone here called it a brick..... I kind of like the idea! So O-Range it will be.... Or even wilder, a brick paint job...!!? Could I find brick decals anywhere?

That's cool, one thing I liked about the Pro-street era were these off-the-wall cars done up.

WHAT ABOUT LOWERING THE ROOF A FEW INCHES, JUST A THOGHT.

[Nick F40]

It is a brick dude

Other than the 850 Estates

I'd paint it brick

A small update. The stock gas filler opening had to be filled. A piece of styrene have been glued in the opening, and some putty applied. Now for some sanding....

Also, this is the injection setup, not sure where it's from. I'll strip the chrome, and cut the stacks because they will be replaced with aluminum tubing.

I've been adding styrene strips to the wheel tubs, since I thought it was too much of a gap between the body and the chassis. This is an in progress shot, I've added some more since.... it's getting better. I know, this might be totally unnecessary work, but I'd like to blend the chassis panels so it will look like it belongs under this weird body.....

[evilone]

what kits are you using bro

i think im going to have to make one so we can go head to head like the show pinks

or i can get you with my 64 chevy(there i go again saying too much ) looks like its time to start a workbench

[Modellpularn]

Why not paint it Land Rover Tangiers Orange? It would be a "proper" rover color.

IMHO

The wheel tubs are now done, next up is to widen the firewall.... Still not sure about the color.... maybe go with a dark green, like the British Racing Green. Guess what, I found one up for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-ESCI-1-24-SCALE-R...id=p3286.c0.m14

Soo.... anyone else fancy a Range Rover....?

I fancy one.....and British Racing green will look sweet yet classic.

[Modellpularn]

That's what another friend suggested, since those "Agitator" decals are done in a varigated gold style. They came in Revell's 70 Torino GT, and I thought they looked so cool, I had to use them on something, like this one...... Kind of suits the car, don't you think?
